AFX

AFX Lighting was founded in Chicago by entrepreneur William Rusnak, who was inspired by the innovative fluorescent tube lighting displayed at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. He started American Fluorescent Corporation in 1938, which focused on selling linear fluorescent light fixtures The company found early success and continued to thrive under the leadership of Rusnak's son-in-law, Jerry Solomon, who became President in 1959. Solomon's son succeeded him in 1983 and is currently the CEO of the company.
