Fluid Power & Systems and Air-Tech 2018 triumph

24 May, 2018

Popular choice

Fluid Power & Systems, which has the full support of the British Fluid Power Association (BFPA), is the only exhibition in the UK totally focused on hydraulics, pneumatics, systems and related equipment, and as such has proved to be the popular choice for fluid power system manufacturers and distributors. Chris Buxton, CEO of the British Fluid Power Association (BFPA), incorporating the British Fluid Power Distributors Association (BFPDA), said of Fluid Power & Systems 2018: “Visitor numbers to the exhibitions were encouraging and the BFPA pavilion was busy throughout the three days of the event. It was evident among many of the exhibitors that the continuing trend towards automation and wider motion control continues apace, whilst those visitors seeking a range of added value learning opportunities seemed pleased with the range of topics covered in the seminar programme. We are now looking ahead to the 2020 event.”

Only dedicated UK event

Air-Tech covers current key themes related to the very latest in air compressor and related technology from companies from around the globe. The event is fully supported by the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS) and is the UK’s only dedicated event for the compressed air and generators market.

Vanda Jones, BCAS’s executive director, commented: “Air-Tech was a great show for BCAS on several fronts. It was the first time I had worked with DFA Media and the process was seamless. Even before the show started the exhibitor website made planning and marketing very easy.

“Once at the show, BCAS hosted its spring conference which was attended by members from both the manufacturer and distributor sectors. For the end users we were also able to use the platform to launch our end user survey, our technical guide and the new knowledge base on the website. Show traffic was brisk on all three days and it was an excellent opportunity for us to provide impartial expert advice to exactly the right audience. All in all, a very successful three days; it enabled us to link with new contacts and existing members.”
