19 September 2022 - 12:30PM
Parker-Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH, “Parker”), the global leader
in motion and control technologies, today announced that it has
completed its previously announced transaction to sell its Aircraft
Wheel and Brake Division, located in Avon, Ohio, in the United
States, to Kaman Corporation (NYSE: KAMN). Kaman,

full compliance with the commitments offered by Parker, including
the divestment of Parker’s Aircraft Wheel and Brake Division. On
September 13, 2022, Parker announced that it has completed its
acquisition of Meggitt PLC.
Parker’s Aircraft Wheel and Brake Division is a leading
manufacturer of aircraft wheel and brake systems and related
hydraulic products for general aviation, business aviation,
rotorcraft, and military aircraft markets with annual sales of
approximately $70 million.
“Kaman is a strategic buyer for the Aircraft Wheel & Brake
Division,” said Roger Sherrard, Vice President and President of
Parker's Aerospace Group. “This is a great business with strong
foundations for growth, an outstanding team and a clear strategy
for future success. We thank the team for their contributions
to Parker Aerospace over many years and are confident in their
continued success as part of Kaman.”
