The EMEA Power Transmission Distributors Association (EPTDA), the leading organization for the mechanical power transmission and motion control (PT/MC) industry in Europe, Middle-East, and Africa, takes pleasure in announcing a new update regarding the membership of the organization. Five new members have joined, representing all membership categories - two distributors: ConCar Industrietechnik GmbH and SKS Sweden AB; two manufacturers: Hutchinson O-Ring Division and FYH Bearing Units USA, Inc. and one associate: KOIOS Master Data, raising the total member companies to 259.
“Since we all met at EPTDA Berlin 2016 last year, the association has welcomed 14 new member companies, with eight of these newcomers joining in 2017. EPTDA’s unique platform continues to attract new member companies despite the strong acquisitions and consolidations that are marking our industry more than ever. We will be delighted to introduce these new member companies to the EPTDA Family at EPTDA’s 20th Annual Convention,” comments Hans Hanegreefs, executive vice president of the EPTDA.
