Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, recently announced the retirement of Marwan M. Kashkoush, Executive Vice President - Sales, Marketing and Operations Support. Kashkoush, age 55, will remain in his current role through September 30, 2010 to allow for a structured transition of his responsibilities. During this transition, he will remain an integral member of the Parker Management Committee.

"Marwan has had an outstanding 32 year career at Parker," said Don Washkewicz, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. "Beyond his accomplishments within our operating business groups, where he led the Hydraulics Group to a global leadership position, in his current role in executive management he has been instrumental in establishing a more consistent and strategic approach to marketing and a growing retail presence for the company. His contributions will have lasting positive effects. Today, Parker is a much more market focused corporation as a result of the processes Marwan has introduced."
