Associated Fuel Pump Systems Corp. (AFCO) - AFCO welcomed two new executives at the beginning of the year: Wolfgang Simon as president and Masaaki Kato, manufacturing executive.

Simon worked at Bosch Corporate Headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany before coming to Anderson, S.C.

Kato is no stranger to AFCO. From 1991-1996 he served as Production Engineering manager before returning to DENSO Corporation to work as plant manager of Fuel Pump Modules at the Nishio, Japan plant.
