The HCSDE Story . . .
With its developments in integrated hydraulic products, Parker has decided to penetrate
the expanding European market by creating a focused resource with engineering and
manufacturing capability for both cartridge valves and manifold systems. This division is
named Hydraulic Cartridge Systems Division-Europe based in Crewkerne - England.
This allows Parker to take advantage of its strengths in product offerings and truly provide
OEM’s with “one stop shopping”. With the vast resources of its many divisions available,
Parker has the unique ability to adapt other Parker products within speciality manifolds,
beyond just the integration of valve products.
Our objectives and development are linked directly with HCSD and are in line with our
Global Hydraulics Group goals. HCSDE have three locations, with its headquarters in
Crewkerne, a manifold production facility in Boras - Sweden, and the volume cartridge
production facility in Chomutov. - Czech Republic. The following is a brief review of each
location:
