SFMA – the Swedish Fluid Motion Association is the new association that was established in 2019 through the merging of HPF (Swedish Association for Hydraulics and Pneumatics) – established 1962, and IFS (Fluid System Engineering Association) – established 1972, and currently comprises some 60 members. With joint forces the aim of the new association is to become stronger in promoting the industry and quality, safety and reliability when using hydraulics and pneumatics. SFMA actively supports standardisation in Sweden and works for increased information and education of users and suppliers in this field. SFMA is also the certifying body for hydraulics engineers in Sweden – a quality and professional benchmark for the automation industry.
