VDMA Fluid Power represents the interests of the hydraulic, pneumatic and sealing technology industry.
Our expert networks enable the nearly 220 member companies to exchange experiences intensively on topics relevant to the industry, which can be deepened through participation in committees. Focal points include market information and statistics, trade fairs, technology and standardisation as well as the promotion of research and innovation. Through our diverse offerings, we also advance future topics such as "Industry 4.0".
At a time of profound global changes and challenges, it is our goal to shape the framework conditions for mechanical and plant engineering in such a way that our companies remain successful and competitive in the future. The upcoming federal election offers a decisive opportunity to set the course for a future-oriented industrial policy. We need a #StandortUpgrade!
