Six years ago, the International Fluid Power Society relaunched the industry’s Fluid Power Hall of Fame, having its first class in 2019 after several decades. The Hall of Fame was established to acknowledge those individuals who have dedicated their careers and have made significant contributions to fluid power technology. Over the past six years, 32 individuals have been inducted into the Hall of Fame including several who were nominated posthumously.
Today is the last day to submit nominations.
IFPS notes in its call for nominations that the success of the fluid power industry is not in its hardware, pumps, valves, cylinders, and hoses — but rather the success is through the efforts of the dedicated individuals — innovators, researchers, application engineers, educators, as well as sales and service personnel. These people are the reason that our industry continues to thrive.
Any person can nominate an individual, living or deceased, who demonstrated excellence within their 25+ year fluid power career; however, an individual is only allowed to nominate for 1) living and 1) posthumous.
To be eligible for the award nominees must have had verifiable 25+ cumulative years in the fluid power industry. Those nominated are asked to complete a 15-question application.
A panel of judges reviews the applications and selects the Class of Inductees. The Hall of Fame Inductees will be announced on June 19 — Fluid Power Professionals’ Day.
