IFPE 2008 to Feature PTDA Pavilion

July 6, 2006 -- The International Exposition for Power Transmission (IFPE) and the Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA) recently signed an agreement that will bring a PTDA-sponsored exhibits pavilion to IFPE 2008, strengthening the scope of the exposition and increasing the opportunities for customer interaction. IFPE is held every three years with the next show to be held March 11-15, 2008 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas. IFPE 2008 will feature the broad range of power transmission and motion control products delivered through hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, and electrical technologies. The exposition will be the largest industry gathering in North America for the motion control industry.

 

PTDA has also signed on as a supporting organization of IPFE 2008 and has designated the show as the only U.S. exposition it will support in 2008. In addition, PTDA will hold several association meetings in conjunction with IFPE 2008. PTDA also lent similar support to the last IFPE, held in 2005. For the 2008 IFPE, the association has substantially increased the expected size of its exhibits pavilion.

 

“We are very pleased that PTDA and its members will again participate in IFPE, especially with an increased level of support,” said Linda Western, executive director of the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA), IFPE's co-owner. “They provide a valuable dimension to the exposition and reinforce the show as an industry gathering place.”

 

IFPE 2008 is co-located with CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2008, which will be the largest international gathering place for the construction industries in 2008. The shows are expected to attract more than 125,000 visitors from around the world. IFPE also features a highly regarded technical conference on power transmission and motion control technology.

 

“Our partnership with IFPE provides an ideal opportunity for our members to expand their contacts with qualified industry buyers worldwide as well as network with peers and take advantage of the education programs offered,” said Mary Sue Lyon, PTDA executive vice president.
