devices. The PT/MC distributors and manufacturers serve industries
as diverse as automotive manufacturing, mining, pulp & paper,
food & beverage processing, wind energy, packaging, forestry and
printing - to name but a few; as well as MRO (maintenance, repair and
operations) and OEM (original equipment manufacturers) markets.
Industrial distribution plays a key role in the supply chain, providing not only products, but also
services and maintenance. To serve this purpose and bring the decision-makers together on
one platform, EPTDA was founded in 1998 as the European Power Transmission Distributors
Association. It was an initiative started by a group of power transmission and motion control (PT/
MC) professionals who believed in bringing Distributors and Manufacturers together on one joint
platform. The idea was officially kicked-off in Marbella, Spain in 1999 under the visionary leadership
of Mr Heinz Landhäusser, EPTDA’s Founding & Honorary President, and the Power Transmission
Distributors Association (PTDA in the USA).
Over a course of 20 years, EPTDA has grown into a leading organization for the mechanical power
transmission and motion control industry, bringing together more than 250 qualified companies
from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the rest of the world. It has established a solid
reputation and has become a reference channel for all industry decision-makers seeking top-level
networking and business opportunities of the highest calibre.
The very first companies that laid the foundations of the EPTDA membership base came from
across Europe, with a shared faith in the power of joint efforts to build a better future for the
industry and stakeholders:
