Parker Hannifin

6035 Parkland Blvd.
Cleveland, OH 44124
216-896-3000
 
Parker Hannifin is known worldwide for manufacturing valves, fittings, hoses and dozens of other products. The Cleveland-based company can now add another product to its catalog. Sometime this year, the company is expected to launch its line of high-speed brakes for wind turbines, similar to those used in helicopters. Parker Hannifin is getting some serious support for this new economy project. The company was awarded $1 million for the Ohio Wind Turbine Brake Commercialization project from the state's Third Frontier initiative and is working with other agencies, including Case Western Reserve University. Parker employs 4,000 in Ohio already, and the company says as many as 40 high-paying technology-based jobs will be added over the next six years, thanks to the company's new line.
