Parker Aerospace is at the 2023 Paris Airshow this week with a broader product portfolio and as a stronger market player following the combination of Parker-Hannifin and Meggitt Group in September. The merger not only brought together complementary product lines but also like-minded employees and company cultures, Parker v-p of business development and global support Austin Major told AIN. One of the products resulting from the combined companies is an "energy buffer" for fuel cells.

Major stressed the complementary nature of the two companies' product lines. Parker-Hannifin specialized in hydraulics, flight control actuation, fuel systems, and wing sealing and shielding on airframes, among other products, while Meggitt encompassed avionics and sensors, fuel tanks and bladders, fire protection, electric power, and braking systems on airframes. Though the two companies had some overlap on engine mounts, fuel and exhaust nozzles, oil pumps and tanks, Meggitt brought added engine sensors, composites, valves, and thermal management, among other products and technologies.
