Expansion aids faster turnaround

In just six months Tom Parker, distributor of quick connect couplings, has spent £600,000+ increasing the size of its Prestonbased distribution facility to 45,000ft2.

The company offers connection solutions for pneumatic, hydraulic, water and gas applications. The expanded site will enable it to keep most of its 25,000 high quality fluid power products in stock, providing a faster turnaround on orders.

The extra space will also facilitate assembly, testing and certification of pneumatic (to 500 PSI) and hydraulic hose (to 30,000 PSI) including fast replacement of hose assemblies.

A fully stocked trade counter helps customers source a suitable connection.
