PARSIPPANY, NJ - Membership in the Hydraulic Institute (HI) has been opened to pump and supplier companies that manufacture wholly outside of North America but sell into the North American market.  The change significantly expands HI membership opportunities globally.

According to HI Executive Director Robert Asdal, “Expanding HI’s membership footprint beyond North America is a natural response to the global marketplace. This move also aligns with HI’s vision to be a global authority on pumps and pumping systems. The active involvement of global companies, and their executives and engineers, will add vitality to HI and the volunteer committees that create standards, guidelines and training programs of the institute and its Pump Systems Matter educational organization. We expect both our current and new international members to benefit from the change.”
