Parker’s worldwide network of field
sales engineers and Mobile Systems
Engineers (MSEs) are the best in
the business. A field sales engineer

managing difficult design problems
and complex circuit design.
State-of-the-Art
Manufacturing
Parker is committed to using lean
manufacturing to eliminate waste
while streamlining processes.
Lean technology helps us meet
customer request dates quickly
and cost-effectively. We also rely
on state-of-the-art equipment and
technology, such as computer-
aided machining, to ensure
product quality.
We regularly invest in our ISO 9001
certified manufacturing facilities
because we are committed to
meeting all international standards
for safety and quality. The hydraulic
valves we manufacture comply with
relevant ISO, CSA, CE, and AMEX
standards.
In addition, Parker hydraulic valves
and valve manifolds are fully tested
and certified before being released
to the customer. You can expect
Parker hydraulic valves to work the
first time, every time.
You also benefit from Parker
Mobile Technology Centers
(MTCs) that are staffed by specially
trained distributors who provide
only the highest levels of customer
service. These one-stop shops offer
complete hydraulic systems design
for mobile applications, as well as
technology services such as diag-
nostics, troubleshooting, computer
design, testing, and integration of
electronic controls.
Finally, our thousands of depend-
able distributors are strategically
located in your markets. They carry
inventory to meet specific, local
market needs, and they ensure that
products arrive when and where
they are needed. You can count on
Parker distributors to minimize
downtime.
