Growth From the Infrastructure Bill? #onlyfluidpowercan

Jan. 26, 2022
Fluid power has a critical part to play in the recently passed infrastructure bill.

Eric Lanke, president and CEO of the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA), said the association is actively promoting the use of fluid power as a critical part of the infrastructure bill recently passed by Congress. “We have a hashtag that we use on social media: #onlyfluidpowercan. And that's what we used to call attention to where you can find fluid power in the marketplace to weigh in positive and exciting things,” Lanke told Power & Motion. “We're going to see a lot of new spending on vehicles, on machines and on the fluid power that drives them in order to make all those projects come to fruition. So, I think from a business growth perspective, it's a net positive for that for our industry.”
