Membership Open to all hydraulic, pneumatic and motion control manufacturers and suppliers, BFPA members gain unlimited access to our full range of products and services. Subscriptions are based on annual sales directly associated with fluid power equipment in and from the UK. Membership of the British Fluid Power Distributors Association (BFPDA) is open to independent distributors of fluid power equipment. Associate members are usually companies which have a link to the industry, but do not have their main business in fluid power. Consultant membership is available to consultants who have expertise in hydraulics and/or pneumatics and are offering consultancy services relating to fluid power technology. Statistics For over 30 years, the BFPA’s statistical surveys have provided our members with valuable insight into the key trends in the fluid power industry. This service is exclusive to Association members and is one of the most prized benefits of membership. Accurate and reliable economic forecasts are a key aid to successful business planning. We work with Oxford Economics, the world’s leading economic consultancy and forecaster, to produce an annual forecast for the UK fluid power industry. Technical standards One of the main aims of the BFPA is to create, raise and maintain standards in the fluid power industry. The Association’s technical committees play a key role in framing worldwide best practice through the development of national, European and international standards. The BFPA also offers a supporting range of publications. Training The BFPA has created a suite of training courses that have been developed by utilising the knowledge of industry experts, so no matter what industry your company is associated with – for example construction, offshore & marine, agriculture, renewable energy, rail, mining – these training courses from the BFPA Training Academy will be relevant for you and your employees. Training courses are available throughout the year and can be provided either direct from the BFPA or through one of its associated training partners. Industry representation The BFPA works hard to represent the hydraulic, pneumatic and motion control industry at national, European and international level. The Association works with Government, legislative bodies and other professional associations. The BFPA regularly meets with a range of government departments, including the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills, the Environment Agency and the Ministry of Defence.
