MAFSI is a 59 year-old non-profit trade association comprised of 330 independent manufacturers' representative agencies and 210 manufacturers in the United States, Canada and Mexico, engaged in the sales and marketing of commercial food service equipment, supplies, tabletop and furnishings.

We have over 40 years of professional experience covering all aspects of the hospitality industry - back of the house, the front of the house, operations, purchasing, and management, as well as consulting. Personal histories of the WDG principals include backgrounds in arts, crafts, sewing, and business.

Our company philosophy is “Give the customer more than they expect, at a fair price, and treat each one as a lifelong friend you expect to see again.” This supports our core belief that the quality of the product and the quality of the service experience should be remembered long after the price has been forgotten. We hope you will put our philosophy to the test.

Since 1993, WDG has focused on custom leather apparel items and accessories for a variety of markets. Recently, we’ve become aware of an often ignored segment in the fine dining and hospitality industry - those wanting a distinctive place setting alternative that saves management time and money to the fancy folded napkin. The result is our distinguishing line of Napkin Thingy products.
