IFPE 2011 will be the largest in the show’s history, with exhibit space now sold out. The show floor covers 140,450 net sq. ft. of exhibit space, a 9-percent increase over the record-breaking 2008 event. Show organizers cite increased awareness of the international scope of the exposition and its ability to attract key industry decision makers as a key factor in the exposition’s growth.

IFPE focuses on the integration of fluid power with other technologies for power transmission and motion control applications.

“These industry collaborations provide an international gathering place that boosts the value for all participants; nowhere else will they find in one place such convenient access to the latest products and industry experts, ’best practices’ industry education, and industry networking on a global scale,” said Show Director Melissa Magestro.

IFPE 2011 will feature more than 400 exhibitors, including longtime participants as well as new-to-the-show companies, from smaller specialized firms to global leaders, and from the United States, Canada and worldwide. The show floor includes exhibit pavilions from the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) and the Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA), an exhibit pavilion highlighting sensors manufacturers, and international exhibit pavilions from China, Italy and Taiwan.
