Parker's hydraulic and pneumatic products bring reliability to industry
Since 2011, Fintos has been representing Parker, the world’s leading manufacturer of hydraulic and pneumatic products, with a reputation for quality and reliability. Its uniquely broad portfolio is based on global leadership in areas such as hydraulics, pneumatics and fluid and gas handling.
For Fintos, as a Parker Distributor, the main product groups are Parker Ermeto pipe connectors, hydraulic hoses and pumps and special measuring equipment. In addition, the range includes Parker hydraulic and pneumatic hoses, tubes, cylinders and parts.
When Fintos joined the worldwide Parker distribution network, there was no Parker representation in Vaasa. The strong American brand has proved its reputation from the outset, and over the years has responded to changing customer needs by developing its range and service.
Fintos wants to be the Finnish industry’s main partner for hydraulic and pneumatic needs. We provide high quality hydraulic and pneumatic components and equipment, as well as product development and production problem solving, design, procurement, assembly, service and training,” says Tuuli Prinkkilä, CEO of Fintos.
Strengths include superior quality, traceability and availability
Fintos distributes Parker products as a traditional distributor and offers its customers the possibility to outsource the sourcing of components and parts for production or projects. In addition, Fintos uses Parker components to build hydraulic and pneumatic equipment for its customers.
On the intermediary side, Fintos has a large number of regular customers and, on the other hand, a small number of individual customers who make occasional spot purchases. Parker is one of Fintos’ largest suppliers.
Thanks to the procurement service and the intermediate warehousing, Parker products are quickly available at Fintos directly from the shelf.
– We keep a buffer stock in line with known annual requirements. If necessary, we order more in suitable quantities,” says Prinkkilä.
Very high quality makes Parker products reliable. In the entire period of representation since 2011, Fintos has not received a single complaint about them.

Very high quality makes Parker products reliable. In the entire period of representation since 2011, Fintos has not received a single complaint about them. Thanks to their reliability, the use of Parker products reduces problems in the customer’s systems and production, while improving productivity and profitability.
Another key advantage is the documentation and traceability of Parker products, a clear strength of a major manufacturer. Thanks to its American background, Parker’s products also have the certifications needed in the US market, such as UL safety and quality approvals that are otherwise difficult to obtain.
– Extensive approvals bring peace of mind. Products are guaranteed to meet technical specifications, and only approved materials and labour are used in their manufacture and delivery, says Prinkkilä.
Procurement, intermediate storage and smooth transactions for contract customers
Fintos is part of the Parker Nordic organisation, headquartered in Borås. The manufacturer’s events are a good way to learn about new products and future trends, and to network with the distribution network.
– We are pleased with the Parker representation and are ready to develop our cooperation further, says Prinkkilä.
“Buying parts and components from Fintos is very easy: we find the right components and parts, and we take care of the purchase on behalf of the customer.
