President's Introduction

The Organisation for Fluid Power and Motion Control Professionals

September 2016
Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: Introduction Fluid Power Society (NSW) Inc.
Welcome members and future members to a new era in the Fluid Power Society of New South
Wales (FPSNSW).
Over several months a number of our industry people along with the assistance of the Australian
Fluid Power Society (AFPS) have re-constituted the NSW chapter of the previous society with a new
constitution and in order to align with the current chapters of Victoria and Western Australia.
So as of the 14th
July 2016 the FPSNSW has been registered and a committee has been elected by
the current forming members.
They are as follows:-
President – Paul Husquin – Bosch Rexroth
Vice President – Ian Allen – Parkes Hydraulic Services
Secretary – Clint Barefoot – K One Fluid Power
Treasurer – Ian Atkin – Lisant Training Group
Committee Members – Deon Cilliers – Donaldson Filtration
Bernie Harper – New England Hydraulics
Aaron Ryland – Bosch Rexroth
This re-organisation has been undertaken as the first step to a larger plan that our industry can be
recognised across the country as one industry with the same goals and rules without state boarders.
As a member of the FPSNSW it is envisaged that our meetings and gatherings will have an
informative and technical nature and be conducted at various institutes where possible, as we are
also endeavouring to have a greater level of involvement from academia who will also provide
guidance on training and qualification registration.
From this new era the committee has stated that all members are to be qualified and graded on
experience level for those whose level of expertise is not that deemed by the committee will be
encourage to become so qualified. This assessing has yet to be finalised.
This new idea comes from the greater desire to have a common recognition across the country and
this can only be achieved if all parties have the same respective goal.
We as a newly re-constituted group must and will be seen as compliant to all the current statues and
regulations, so please do not let the weight of compliance be a heavy burden rather see it as an
opportunity to make our industry and the FPSNSW in particular a strong and vibrant group that can
and should have influence on our industry as a whole.

2. So finally please add your support to this buy joining and be a part of the future of Fluid Power.
Yours Faithfully
J P Husquin
President
