Parker Hannifin Hydraulic Accumulator Division: Sealing Success!

The Flexan Corporation has a number of important long term customer relationships. One example is our relationship with the global leader in motion and control technologies, Parker Hannifin. Parker is a multi-national corporation with operations worldwide. Flexan does business with several Parker divisions, including its Hydraulic Accumulator Division (HAD) in Rockford, Illinois. Flexan has been a Parker supplier for many years; the quality, consistency, and durability of Flexan’s products have made it a trusted vendor and valued supplier of critical rubber components. Like all of Parker’s products, Flexan components are highly engineered and designed to perform in difficult conditions. Flexan’s custom seals and gaskets are made to respond to the unique environment present in each specific Parker application. "Since 1993, Flexan and Parker HAD have held a professional partnership, while developing special compounds and seal designs specific to our applications," according to Bob Rajabi Engineering Manager at Parker HAD.

In addition to providing quality components, Flexan has provided several value added services to Parker over the years. Custom packaging featuring resistance to ultra-violet light has been used to help preserve and prolong the life span of components. Customized labeling has also been utilized to increase the speed and ease of Flexan products through the Parker logistics and distribution network. From a production standpoint Flexan and Parker have worked closely together to develop standard release quantities and Kanban systems to improve efficiency and speed to market. Flexan participates in the Parker Hannifin online portal which updates daily and allows for excellent visibility of current orders, delivery dates, and project timelines.

This kind of close supplier/customer relationship is what Flexan has specialized in for over 50 years. It has allowed us to supply many Parker divisions with complex rubber solutions. Similarly this relationship continues to help us evolve as a company, and benefit from the technological and industrial innovations that Parker has spearheaded. Parker in turn has benefited from a consistent and value added supplier. This mutually beneficial relationship is how Flexan prefers to do business. How can we help you today?
