Parker Hannifin Recognizes Unique Half-Century Partnership with Web Seal

LEXINGTON, KY – Web Seal Inc. has been recognized by the Seal Group of Parker Hannifin Corporation for fifty years of dedicated service and support as a distributor, according to Kurt Keller, group president.

Keller presented the partnership award to John F. Hurley, president of Web Seal, at the Parker Seal Group’s national sales and distribution conference held in Lexington, KY, Oct. 9.

A significant milestone, the distinction has only been awarded to a handful of Parker Seal distributors.  In addition to the announcement, Keller and other Parker managers sponsored an elegant al fresco luncheon at Web Seal’s Rochester, NY, headquarters in the spring where they personally thanked all members of the Web Seal staff.

In return, Web Seal honored the long-term partnership with an historical exhibition of Parker memorabilia and photography, and a “pay-it-forward” donation to Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

Established in 1918 as Parker Appliance Company, Parker Hannifin today is a Fortune 500 company and the global leader in motion and control technologies.  Parker’s Seal Group develops and manufactures technologically advanced sealing devices and materials required by modern machinery.

Web Seal’s founder Donald L. Hurley began Web Seal’s operations in a basement office in 1960 and incorporated the business in January 1963.
