On the relatively small, twin island state of Trindad & Tobago, Mr. David Buffong, recognized that the people of his country needed world-class fluid power training to facilitate his country’s need for highly skilled maintenance technicians to support T&T's economy.

To meet the challenge, Mr. Buffong built a state-of-the art-training center in Trinidad which is equipped with the most advanced hydraulic training simulators in the world, designed and built by FPTI™.

Mr. Buffong has undergone training in England and the U.S.A., and holds the Fluid Power Society’s Instructor certification. David has also successfully completed the Fluid Power Training Institute™’s rigorous instructor certification course - David is the only instructor outside of the U.S.A. who currently holds this distinction.
