Building the Valves of the Future: Reliable Valves for Performance and Precision

At the 2026 CONEXPO-CON/AGG Trade Show, guest host Ben Brown interviews Rick Guidish of Vis Hydraulics about his CONEXPO experience, opportunity to make and see industry connections, and the company's exhibit highlights. Vis Hydraulics is expanding its proportional valve offerings to support the hydraulic industry's shift toward electronic control, focusing first on proportional pressure control valves such as pilot operated relief valves, direct acting relief valves, and pressure reducing valves, as well as plans for expansion in the future. Guidish also promotes Vis Hydraulics' newly opened North American operations in Franklin, Wisconsin, which will warehouse product and manufacture finished valves to reduce tariff impacts, improve logistics, and shorten lead times for U.S. customers.
