Herky Veatch and Dan Mrotz, because of their decades of experience in the fluid power industry, have an excellent relationship with most component manufacturers worldwide. Their experience is not limited to their knowledge of catalogs and parts lists. They have a personal "pick up the phone and call" relationship with many OEM managers and factory tech-reps.

This personal relationship has encouraged a two-way communication that keeps all abreast of current events, product upgrades, problem areas, and difficult applications and improves the timing of replacement parts in times of shortage. This relationship keeps FPI near the head of the line when supplies are short or in time of disasters and helps reduce reaction time for parts and materials.

If your company has instituted FPI's F.I.V.E. Program, your system parts will already have been entered in the Internet database and the time to identify broken components is removed from the resupply equation.

If you have not utilized F.I.V.E., we can still help you better manage your system by using our FPI RFID Program to identify a specific component with accuracy.

FPI encourages clients to visit with us and define a spare parts stocking agreement to support your operations.
