Parker Aerospace acquires Resistoflex Aerospace

Based in Jacksonville, Florida, Resistoflex Aerospace employs 84 people and reported sales of $16 million last year. The company, which invented PTFE extruded hose, also produces tubes and swaged fittings, including hydraulic beam seal fittings for aircraft and engine applications, and Nutlok, a separable fluid connector requiring no lockwire. Parker plans to integrate Resistoflex into its Stratoflex Products Division, headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas.
