East Anglian engineering company Ladbrook have announced that they have won a substantial new contract with Parker Hannifin, the world's leading diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems. Ladbrook specialise in the production of pressed metal parts and will be supplying a range of heavy gauge brackets for use with hydraulic components. Key to Ladbrook's success in this area has been both its 200 ton pressing technology and it's wealth of engineering expertise in tool development, production and quality control.

 "We are very pleased to be working with Parker Hannifin," said Mike Blowers, Managing Director of Ladbrook. "It's the kind of company and product that we like to be involved in. We are quite unique in that we run a 200 ton, automated, four stage progression press which is ideal for this type of large, heavy gauge engineering and it always feels good to be contributing to products that are leaders in their field." Ladbrook has been a specialist in large metal pressing for over 70 years and currently provides pressed parts for the window industry, building industry, automotive, heating systems, agricultural equipment and the technology sector. With a large range of automated pressing technologies, Ladbrook is also able to manufacture very high volume small components such as inserts for electronics as well as large components such as domestic cooker enclosures. "Last year was very good for us," said Mike Blowers. "We picked up several new major projects and developed a number of new customer relationships that I'm confident will last for many years to come. In addition to this, we are currently agreeing the purchase of new equipment that will further enhance our capabilities. We have a great engineering team here at Ladbrook and I'm confident that this has been the main key to our success". With annual sales exceeding $10 billion, Parker Hannifin is the world's leading diversified manufacturer of motion and control technologies and systems, providing precision-engineered solutions for a wide variety of commercial, mobile, industrial, and aerospace markets. The company employs more than 57,000 people in 43 countries around the world.
