About

MFP Automation EngineeringMFP was founded 1991 and has grown to become one of the Top 30 distributors in the country.

Today we represent the worldwide leaders in motion control and fluid power, including:

  • Parker Hannifin - hydraulics, pneumatics, fluid connectors, and automation
  • Lincoln Lubrication – industrial and mobile automatic lubricating systems
  • Ace Controls - industrial shock absorbers and deceleration devices
  • Sun Hydraulics – cartridge valves
  • Yaskawa- AC drives

MFP maintains a singular focus on the automation industry. Our 20,000 sq. ft. facility includes complete capabilities for hydraulic power unit fabrication, an advanced machine shop and inventories in excess of a million dollars.

MFP Automation EngineeringMFP is actually a manufacturing firm that just happens to also sell America’s finest lines of parts.  Our turn-key design and manufacturing of hydraulic and pneumatic manifolds is supported by AutoCAD (Mechanical Desktop) and 3D Inventor software.  In fact, where MFP used to outsource manifold engineering and manufacturing, we now custom-make manifolds for our customers — including Parker.

We also have CNC vertical machining centers ranging from 5 spindle horsepower to 25 spindle horsepower.

The engineering department at MFP is staffed by certified fluid power specialists, mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers.  Together, they bring you more than 100 years of experience. 

MFP has also received the Small Business of the Year award by the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce.
