The NZFPA’s Purpose
The New Zealand Fluid power association has been established to be your voice in all matters relating to the fluid power industry. Fluid power conveyance, componentry, servicing, design build and commissioning, covering the oil and pneumatic categories.
Our emphasis will be on safety, education, and industry enhancement, whilst proactively acting as a unified voice in communications with officialdom.
Historically, individually we have endured the challenge of breaking though to the relevant people, we now have industry wide representation, in conjunction with a suitable platform for the Fluid Power Industry
Our aim is to raise our own standards to help you trade with your clients at a level where your staff have the skills to safely and profitably work with the client to meet or exceed their expectations.
We will continually look to partner with associations overseas and learn from them. We will source relevant information from these industry partners to deliver additional training resources for the Fluid Power Industry in New Zealand. Our web site will be regularly updated with links, industry news and other useful information
We will advocate for our members wherever we can see a tangible benefit. We have closely consulted with the Workforce Development Council (Hanga-Aro-Rau) and various industry representatives to build an effective tertiary fluid power qualification for New Zealand. We are very pleased to announce that NZQA has accepted this program.
The New Zealand Fluid Power Fundamental Level 3 Qualification is now available.
Providing access to an industry based tertiary qualification that has been designed and created by leading industry members, is a key component to the development and promotion of our important industry. Attracting and encouraging young people and the next generation of hydraulic and pneumatic focused experts is our goal, and we should be considered as a viable and exciting career choice.
Existing and experienced people from our industry should also be encouraged to compete the tertiary training to enable a high standard and grounding to be achieved to further enhance their effectiveness as a team member.
We strongly encourage you to support the NZFPA. It is a vehicle for its members to achieve positive change and growth.
We look forward to welcoming you as a valued member of the New Zealand Fluid Power Association.
The NZFPA committee.
