Parker Hannifin is a Fortune 250 global leader in motion and control technologies, providing precision-engineered solutions. The Parflex Division, a segment of Parker’s Fluid Connectors Group, is headquartered in Ravenna, Ohio. Parflex specializes in the design and manufacture of high-performance, polymer-based hoses and tubing for fluid transfer and fluid power applications.
During the tour you will see single & multilayer extrusion of thermoplastic hose and tubing. You’ll also observe secondary manufacturing operations like braiding and hose assembly. Additional production processes on display include fluoropolymer extrusion and a bundling line for the oil & gas market segment.
