Founded in 1949, Fluid Power, Inc. began overhauling high altitude, oxygen- breathing apparatus in support of the Armed Forces during the 1950-1953 Korean War. By 1957, FPI was a Government-qualified manufacturer of this sophisticated oxygen equipment. In the 1960's and 1970's , FPI also manufactured Compressed Air Breathing Apparatus for the U.S. Chemical Corp used at NIKE missile sites. The commercial version of this twin cylinder backpack was the CABA® unit as supplied to fire departments and city service departments.

Today, we are one of the leading manufacturers of high pressure, high altitude, portable oxygen breathing components and systems and a major supplier of fixed and man-mounted systems. Fluid Power has been an approved prime contractor to the US Military for over 50 years and a qualified supplier to major airframe manufacturers - both foreign and domestic.
