AFP Industries Joins Vanguard® Commercial Power’s Network of Electrification Experts
Richmond, VA — August 2024
AFP Industries, Inc. is proud to announce our new partnership with Vanguard® Commercial Power, joining their growing network of Battery Technology Partners dedicated to advancing electrification across the compact equipment industry. This collaboration strengthens AFP’s ability to deliver custom-engineered hydraulic, pneumatic, and electro-hydraulic systems that integrate the latest in battery and power management technology.
Advancing Motion & Control Through Electrification
For over 50 years, AFP has been helping customers transition to more efficient, sustainable power solutions. By partnering with Vanguard, a division of Briggs & Stratton, we can now offer expanded support for OEMs and equipment manufacturers looking to move from traditional combustion-driven hydraulics to fully electrified systems.
Through this partnership, AFP will leverage Vanguard’s proven Lithium-Ion battery technology alongside our in-house expertise in fluid power, controls, and system integration — providing a seamless pathway for customers developing next-generation mobile and industrial equipment.
Powering the Next Generation of Equipment
AFP’s Custom Manufacturing and Repair Services teams will play a key role in supporting these initiatives — from electro-hydraulic power units and control systems to custom pump and motor builds. The addition of Vanguard’s commercial battery lineup expands AFP’s ability to design integrated systems that deliver high performance, reduced emissions, and improved energy efficiency.
