The importance of market visibility Chris Buxton, CEO of the BFPA, comments: “COVID-19, in all its guises, has affected most of industry in one way or another. However, first and foremost, it remains the case that companies need to remain active and aware of the latest technologies and supply chain options if they are to maintain operational success and an all-important competitive edge. They also need to maintain a high profile in branding terms if they are to differentiate themselves in an increasingly crowded market. Fluid Power & Systems 2022 will be the ideal event for users and OEMs to view the very latest products and services currently available, as well as being able to promote themselves to a wide customer base across diverse market sectors. We look forward to seeing you there.” Ryan Fuller, Managing Director of show organiser DFA Media, says: “Despite all the recent challenges surrounding the pandemic, we are confident that the 2022 outing of Fluid Power & Systems will be DFA Media’s biggest co-located event thus far, with even more exhibitors and more extensive floor space, together with an extended seminar and conference programme. We look forward to welcoming both exhibitors and visitors alike to the shows.” The BFPA at Fluid Power & Systems 2022 46 www.bfpa.co.uk
