Description of Parker Hannifin's Business Segments
Industrial Segment.
The product lines of the Company's Industrial Segment consist of systems and
components of motion control. The Fluid Connectors Group manufactures connectors,
including tube fittings, hose fittings, valves, hoses and couplers, which control,
transmit and contain fluid. The Hydraulics Group produces hydraulic components
and systems for builders and users of industrial and mobile machinery and equipment,
such as cylinders, accumulators, rotary actuators, valves, motors and pumps,
hydrostatic steering units, power units, integrated hydraulic circuits, electrohydraulic
systems, digitally controlled fan-drive systems, and power take-off equipment.
The Automation Group supplies pneumatic and electromechanical components and
systems. Pneumatic products include pneumatic valves, air preparation units,
pneumatic actuators, vacuum products, pneumatic logic systems, and structural
extrusions. Electromechanical products include human-machine interface hardware
and software; industrial PCs; single and multi-axis stand-alone and bus-based
controllers; rotary and linear servo motors; rotary and linear stepper motors;
analog and digital stepper and servo drives; precision gearheads, ballscrew,
belt, and linear motor driven positioning tables; electric rod-style and rodless
cylinders; and gantry robots. The Seal Group manufactures sealing devices, including
o-rings and o-seals; gaskets and packings, which insure leak-proof connections;
electromagnetic interference shielding; and thermal management products. The
Filtration Group manufactures filters, systems and instruments to monitor and
to remove contaminants from fuel, air, oil, water and other fluids and gases,
including hydraulic, lubrication and coolant filters; process, chemical and
microfiltration filters; compressed air and gas purification filters; lube oil
and fuel filters; fuel conditioning filters; fuel filters/water separators;
cabin air filters; intake air filters; and nitrogen and hydrogen generators
and condition monitoring devices. The Instrumentation Group manufactures high
quality critical flow components for process instrumentation and ultra-high-purity
applications, including fittings, valves, regulators and PTFE products.
Industrial Segment products include custom units which are engineered and produced
to original equipment manufacturers' specifications for application to a particular
end product and standard items. Both custom and standard products are also used
in the replacement of original motion control system components. Industrial
Segment products are marketed primarily through field sales employees and more
than 8,600 independent distributors.
Aerospace Segment.
Principal products of the Company's Aerospace Segment are hydraulic, fuel and
pneumatic systems and components used on commercial and military airframe and
engine programs.
The Aerospace Segment offers complete hydraulic and primary flight control
systems that include hydraulic, electrohydraulic and electromechanical components
used for precise control of aircraft rudders, elevators, ailerons and other
aerodynamic control surfaces and utility hydraulic components such as reservoirs,
accumulators, selector valves, electrohydraulic servovalves, thrust-reverser
actuators, engine-driven pumps, motor pumps, nosewheel steering systems, electromechanical
actuators, engine controls and electronic controllers. The Aerospace Segment
also designs and manufactures aircraft wheels and brakes for general aviation
and military markets.
The Aerospace fuel product line includes complete fuel systems as well as components
such as fuel transfer and pressurization controls; in-flight refueling systems;
fuel pumps and valves; fuel measurement and management systems; center of gravity
controls; engine fuel injection atomization nozzles, manifolds and augmentor
controls; and electronic monitoring computers.
Pneumatic components include bleed air control systems, pressure regulators,
low-pressure pneumatic controls, engine starter systems, engine bleed control
and anti-ice systems, and electronic control and monitoring computers.
Aerospace Segment products are marketed by the Company's regional sales organization
and are sold directly to manufacturers and end users.
Climate & Industrial Controls Segment.
The principal products of the Company's Climate & Industrial Controls Segment
are refrigeration and air conditioning systems and components and fluid control
process systems and components for use primarily in the mobile and stationary
refrigeration and air conditioning industry.
The Climate & Industrial Controls Segment manufactures components and systems
for use in industrial, residential, commercial, automotive and mobile air conditioning
and refrigeration systems and other applications, including pressure regulators,
solenoid valves, expansion valves, filter-dryers, gerotors and hose assemblies.
The Climate & Industrial Controls Segment products are marketed primarily
through field sales employees and independent distributors and wholesalers.
Other Segment.
The principal products of the Company's Other Segment are custom-engineered
buildings which are designed and manufactured by Astron; and automotive chemical
products and professional automotive service equipment that are developed by
the Wynn's Specialty Chemical Group.
Astron's pre-engineered single and multi-story buildings serve as factories,
warehouses, aircraft hangars, indoor athletic facilities, automobile showrooms,
offices and supermarkets. Astron's custom-engineered buildings are marketed
primarily through builder/dealers and field sales employees.
The Wynn's Specialty Chemical Group's product line includes professional chemical
products, programs and equipment for automobile service technicians and automotive
chemical products for consumers. Products are marketed primarily to consumers,
automobile dealerships and other automotive service facilities and are distributed
through a strong network of independent distributors as well as a direct sales
force.
