Air-Way Connects with Industry Leaders at the 2026 NAHAD Convention

From May 16–19, 2026, Air-Way Manufacturing attended the NAHAD Annual Convention, joining distributors, manufacturers, suppliers, and industry professionals from across North America for several days of networking, education, and industry discussions.

Representing Air-Way were Bill Blank and Eva Blank, who spent time connecting with attendees and engaging in conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing today’s hydraulic industry.

What Is NAHAD?

NAHAD, the Association for Hose and Accessories Distribution, is one of the leading organizations serving the hose, fluid power, industrial distribution, and hydraulic industries. Its annual convention brings together 

manufacturers, distributors, and industry experts to share knowledge, discuss market trends, and strengthen relationships across the supply chain.

For companies like Air-Way, the event provides an opportunity to stay connected to the people and businesses 

we serve while gaining valuable perspective on the issues impacting the industry. 

Conversations That Matter

This year’s convention brought together professionals focused on many of the same challenges distributors and OEMs face every day, including supply reliability, lead times, inventory management, sourcing strategies, and cost control.

These are conversations Air-Way has with customers throughout the year, and events like NAHAD provide an opportunity to continue those discussions in person. They also create space to exchange ideas, learn from industry peers, and better understand the evolving needs of the hydraulic marketplace.

As a supplier of hydraulic fittings, adapters, hose assemblies, and engineered hydraulic solutions, Air-Way remains focused on helping customers navigate these challenges through responsive service, dependable inventory, and flexible sourcing options.

Looking Ahead

We would like to thank NAHAD for hosting another successful convention and everyone who took the time to connect with Bill and Eva during the event.

As Air-Way continues to invest in engineering expertise, dependable inventory programs, and customer support, staying connected to the industry remains an important part of how we serve our customers and partners.
