From Shelf to Operations: Rapidly Solving Line-Down Emergencies

At Conexpo 2026, Fluid Power Forum guest host Ben Brown interviews Bob Borowski of Engineering Technology Services (ETS) about the show's value for supplier/customer meetings and industry networking. Borowski explains that ETS supports fluid power aftermarket uptime by supplying only original products from major manufacturers (Bosch Rexroth, Parker, Atos, etc.), specializing in piston pumps, piston motors, and industrial valves. ETS fills distribution inventory gaps when critical parts aren't on the shelf, helping resolve line-down situations quickly with real-time online inventory and a ship-today/receive-tomorrow model via the FedEx hub, including rapid global shipping. ETS also offers fundamentals of hydraulics training in Memphis to help address workforce turnover and skills gaps.
