The company is expanding both its product assortment and its market approach as it works to increase adoption of hose protection solutions among OEMs, distributors and […]

Over the course of the trade show week, I averaged almost 17,000 steps per day. Indeed, the 2026 CONEXPO/CON-AGG exhibition was absolutely massive, but I took advantage of their (slow and infrequent) lot shuttles. In most cases, it would have been faster to walk, but I made the rookie error of wearing dress shoes on […]

Speaking during the press preview day, they highlight the significance of the massive event for the hydraulics…

I have an embarrassing admission: I haven’t been to the CONEXPO-CON/AGG trade show since 2017. In fact, at the 2017 show, when it co-hosted with IFPE (The International Fluid Power Exhibition), I represented Canada at the IEOC (NFPA’s Industry & Economic Conference), where, as the Director of Communications for the Canadian Fluid Power Association, I…

Despite a mixed forecast for the sectors that make up the construction market, all signs point to a positive experience as we prepare for CONEXPO/CON-AGG next month in Las Vegas. Industry analysts from ITR Economics and Interact Analysis show that in 2026, single home construction will likely continue to be a bit stalled, and office […]

My priority when visiting the CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 next month is to learn about advanced new technologies, especially those related to fluid power and its machinery. This, despite my desire to find the management team at AEM and convince them to change the show’s name, which has all the appeal of trans-fat-laden square tubs of oleo […]

Although the IFPE show is now a memory for long-time CONEXPO/CON-AGG attendees, fluid power exhibitors are still a large portion of the show, taking up almost all of the South Hall exhibition space as in years past. A run-through of the more than 2,400 exhibitors throughout the entire event came up with about 233 hydraulic, […]

Fluid power exhibitors and education opportunities give attendees much to be excited about. Attendees to this year’s CONEXPO/CON-AGG event will notice some changes, starting with the fact that IFPE, the fluid-power focused portion of the show, is not returning in its old form. IFPE, originally, the International Fluid Power Exposition, was a quadrennial show held […]
