NEW HUDSON, Mich.Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Exotic Automation, a premier Parker Hannifin distributor, announced today they have completed the rebrand of their subsidiaries, Bond Fluidaire & West Michigan Rubber, to Exotic Automation.

Bond Fluidaire was acquired by Exotic in 2022 and has since undergone several key expansions, including an expanded product portfolio, geographic presence and service levels. A new location was opened in Kalamazoo, offering customers custom hose assemblies made on the spot as well as in-stock pneumatic and hydraulic inventory. The company’s two Grand Rapids store locations were both remodeled, offering a wider selection of inventory and product demos. Bond Fluidaire also became a supplier of several new key suppliers, including SKF, DESTACO, Enerpac, Ace Controls and Perma.

West Michigan Rubber was acquired by Exotic in 2025 and underwent a major store remodeling which brought more in-stock products and fluid power capabilities to the Muskegon area. Since the acquisition, the company has significantly increased customer service levels and gained access to Exotic’s pneumatic, hydraulic, compressed air and engineered systems lines.

“The investments made to Bond and West Michigan Rubber have been significant and both companies are stronger than when we acquired them.” Steve Orlando, President said. “The growth experienced over the past few years is just the beginning and gaining the Exotic brand name will allow us to evolve more quickly and surpass expectations for customers.”
