COLLEGE STATION, TX--(Marketwire - December 17, 2007) - (www.boschrexroth-us.com) Bosch Rexroth
recently supplied Texas A&M University with the latest innovative fluid
power technology, including hydraulics and pneumatics training equipment,
that be utilized in the new Bosch Rexroth-R.C. Womack Fluid Power
Laboratory.
The lab, which was created in conjunction with Texas-based Womack Machine Supply Company, is
a newly renovated, state-of-the-art facility which will showcase eight new

Bosch Rexroth president and CEO Berend Bracht joined Texas A&M faculty and

"Bosch Rexroth is proud to partner with Womack Machine Supply and Texas A&M
University to bring its fluid power expertise to the forefront of
engineering technology and education. With the number one ranked Industrial
Development Program in the world, we at Bosch Rexroth cannot think of a
better environment to showcase our products and experience than Texas A&M University," remarked
Bracht.
The primary mission of the lab is to educate students using the latest
technology in fluid power, through the use of hydraulics, pneumatics and
advanced control methods. Its secondary mission is to attract industry
sponsored projects and provide a professional training facility for
engineers, distributors and managerial professionals working in the fluid
power market place.
"This laboratory models the integrated engineering business marketplace
where multiple technologies converge to solve customers' problems," said
Dr. Walter W. Buchanan, head of the Department of Engineering Technology

and Mr. R.C. Womack for this facility, which blends technologies taught in
all programs of our department."
