Enhanced Parker Site Makes Buying Products Easier


Rohnert Park, CA, October 5, 2007 - Parker's Electromechanical Automation Division, a leading supplier of motion control technology, announces it has enhanced its online buy site. The site, www.parkermotion.com/howtobuy.htm,
offers price, real-time availability and online ordering. It also offers a broader range of controls, drives, motors, steppers, gearheads, mechanics and a number of components from their CTC brand of HMI products that were previously unavailable online.

Moreover, customers interested in a specific solution will find a "buy now online" link right on the pages of the division's most popular products as found at www.parkermotion.com. The buy site is now open for most Asia orders, including China and India, as well as most of South and Central America.

U.S. customers qualify for free shipping on orders over $250 and less than 100 pounds (see terms and conditions online).

"This is all in response to our customers who have told us, 'Parker has so many great products - please make it easier for me to purchase them,'" said Bud Parer, the division's manager of information systems.
