About Parker-Hannifin Corp

Parker-Hannifin Corp. is a leading U.S. industrial company listed on the NYSE under the ticker PH. Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States, the company was founded in 1917 by Arthur L. Parker. What began as a maker of pneumatic brake systems and leak-free fittings has evolved into a global motion-and-control engineering platform serving industrial and aerospace customers in more than 100 countries. ([investors.parker.com](https://investors.parker.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/163/parker-hannifin-celebrates-100-years?utm_source=openai)) Parker’s business model is anchored in two reportable segments: Diversified Industrial and Aerospace Systems. Diversified Industrial covers a very broad range of motion-control and fluid-system components used across manufacturing, automation, packaging, transportation, mobile equipment, refrigeration, HVAC, agriculture and selected defense applications. Aerospace Systems designs and manufactures products for commercial, business jet, military and general aviation aircraft, as well as missile and spacecraft programs, and also provides meaningful aftermarket support. The company organizes its portfolio around eight core technologies, including hydraulics, pneumatics, electromechanical systems, filtration, fluid and gas handling, process control, engineered materials and climate control.

The company says it sells hundreds of thousands of part numbers, and its go-to-market model combines direct OEM relationships, industrial distribution and aftermarket channels. That mix allows Parker to participate in both capital-spending cycles and recurring replacement-demand streams, which is a key advantage in industrial markets.

In November 2025, Parker announced an agreement to acquire Filtration Group Corporation for $9.25 billion, a transaction designed to materially expand its filtration capabilities, aftermarket exposure and presence in life sciences, HVAC/R and industrial in-plant applications. The company also posted record fiscal 2025 annual sales of $19.9 billion, while fiscal 2026 first- and second-quarter results showed further record sales and margin expansion. In addition, Parker announced the acquisition of Curtis Instruments, extending its electrification offering.
