AFM Heatsheets, based in Chicago, applies a reflective insulation technology developed for NASA to manage radiant energy and influence warmth and cooling for people, places, and things. The business is organized into three segments that share this core material: Heatsheets Events, Outdoor/Adventure, and OEM Clothing and Bedding. For events, Heatsheets supplies printed or plain plastic finish-line blankets for finish lines, aid stations, and VIP areas at major long-distance road races and triathlons in the United States, and has been a preferred supplier since 1980, beginning with the New York City Marathon. In Outdoor/Adventure, AFM collaborates with Adventure Medical Kits to manufacture all four products in AMK's Emergency Essentials line, which are distributed to outdoor retailers such as REI, Dick's Sporting Goods, Sports Authority, Any Mountain, Sport's Chalet, and Ramsey Outdoor. The OEM segment produces Silver Lining, a ultra-thin thermo-reflective material used in standalone products and as components for garments and bedding—ranging from mittens and vests to sleeping bags and non-electric blankets—designed to keep users warm and dry. Overall, the company operates in the manufacturing industry with a focus on reflective energy-materials used across consumer, outdoor, and event contexts, and is based in Chicago.
