Locations in Switzerland:

1. EMEA Headquarters

In 2008, the Parker EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) Headquarters was founded in the aim of housing the European Management team under a single roof in Etoy, Switzerland.
The main reason for the headquarters was to enhance collaboration, planning, and enable us to bring more synergies to our efforts. As well as helping us to maintain our focus on both customers and our operations.

In May 2010, our headquarter premises in Etoy was inaugurated and is now home to the Europe, Middle East and Africa Management and functional departments.
The 5,200 square meter building, pays special attention to the environment using geothermal heating and cooling through more than 8km of underground pipe work and solar panels to assist with water heating. This is an economical building using renewable energy and limiting the effects of C02. This reflects Parker's commitment to the environment and community.
