While this sector achieved gradual growth in size and familiarity during the past 20-25 years, it was only in 1990s when the establishmnet of an association started to be discussed. Subsequently, AKDER Fluid Power Association was founded on 3 February 1994.
AKDER has achieved steady growth, as it enabled its members to get together and discuss mutual challenges. As one of AKDER's founders said: "Before AKDER was founded, we would shy away from dropping by the offices of our collleagues in the sector. We did not really gather to talk about work. This was especially true because of the perceived competition among each other. But now, we meet under the name of AKDER, share statistics and are at ease, knowing we are on the same boat together."
