Manufacturing member<\/strong>
\nOpen to all hydraulic, pneumatic and motion control manufacturers and suppliers, BFPA members gain unlimited access to our full range of products and services. BFPA members generally sell only their own branded products which may be manufactured in the UK or abroad.<\/p>\n

Distributor member<\/strong>
\nOpen to independent distributors of fluid power equipment. Companies joining as distributor members often have fluid power sales as the greatest part of their total turnover, and distribution or stockist agreement in place with at least one fluid power components and systems manufacturer. Distributor members usually sell a range of different brands of fluid power products.<\/p>\n
