PARKER HANNIFIN INDIA PVT.LTD.
"The Global Leader in Motion & Control Technologies"
Parker began with only two people, Arthur Parker and Carl Klamm at the beginning of the 20th century. The journey from that two-person enterprise to a technological tour de force contains staggering setbacks and achievements, but through it all one thing has guided the company: the entrepreneurial spirit of Art Parker. Art created a culture that combined family and fairness with innovation and determination.
To reinforce its pneumatic leadership, Parker Hannifin acquired in 2008 Legris® SA, an industrial family owned company specialized in connection solutions for compressed air circuits.
Legris®’ history started in 1863, when Ambroise Legris® bought a small brass-turning business and grew to become a producer of industrial taps and valves. In the 1970s, Legris® SA stepped up its development thanks to a major innovation: the instant fitting for compressed air circuits. Relying on quality, innovation and proximity, Legris® SA succeeded in becoming the global leader in pneumatic connection solutions.
The shared culture of Parker Hannifin and Legris® SA made the integration from 2008 a success for both companies. That competitive and compassionate culture is alive and well, and continues to reflect the example of its founders. A winning culture can only be achieved with passionate people and engaged leaders who treat valued customers with deep respect. This is how Parker Legris® and more largely all Parker Hannifin Divisions conduct business with integrity.
