Parker New Innovation Center

Parker Hannifin, a global leader in motion and control technologies, has opened a state-of-the-art advanced manufacturing learning and development center at its Corporate Technology Ventures facility in Macedonia, Ohio. This innovation center serves as a center of excellence where Parker engineers explore new applications of emerging technologies such as additive manufacturing and collaborative robotics.

The investment in cutting-edge additive manufacturing equipment reflects the long-term value of these technologies. By creating a centralized facility near its global headquarters in Northeast Ohio, Parker provides its operating groups and divisions worldwide access to the latest printers, software, and materials.

Utilizing these central resources enables Parker engineers globally to better solve customer challenges. Additive manufacturing allows multiple configurations of a single component to be created without additional molds or customized tooling, offering a fast and cost-effective prototyping solution. This accelerates the ability to address unique customer challenges and enables engineers to develop custom products and systems faster than ever before.
