WHAT WE DO

Industry Relations: The CCEFP connects the various stakeholders in the fluid power supply chain — OEMs, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors with academic researchers through networking activities and events. Engaged industry representatives network with academic faculty and students.

Academic Relations: CCEFP cultivates relationships with academic researchers through networking activities, dissemination opportunities, campaigns to answer federal research solicitations, and government advocacy.
