About Parker Hannifin Corporation

Parker Hannifin Corporation is a United States based manufacturer of motion and control technologies, serving aerospace, filtration, electromechanical, hydraulics, process control, and other applications. Parker Hannifin was first established in 1917 by Arthur L. Parker under the name Parker Appliance Company, and their initial operations consisted of producing pneumatic brake systems for buses, trains, and trucks. In 1919, Arthur Parker lost his truck, and thus was forced to restart the company in 1924.

Three years later, in 1927, the company expanded their operations to include aircraft systems, and Parker assisted Charles Lindbergh with parts for the Spirit of St. Louis aircraft. The company continued producing aviation products during World War II, providing the U.S. Air Force with valves and fluid connectors.

During the 1950’s, the company set their sights on becoming a leader in fluid power, and they began acquiring various businesses to expand upon their capabilities. One of these companies was the valve producer Hannifin, and it was with their acquisition that the company changed its name to Parker Hannifin. Over the following years, Parker Hannifin would continue to develop their business, debuting on the stock exchange, working with NASA for the 1969 moon landing, and established themselves as a Fortune 500 company.

Leading into the present, Parker Hannifin has continued to diversify their business and industrial sectors, entering the automotive market in the 1970’s and strengthening their aerospace divisions. Currently, Parker Hannifin continues the acquisition of various businesses, also focusing on the development of various products for contracts and civil & defense markets.
