Parker Instrumentation has won Preferred Supplier status for instrumentation manifolds from the process transmitter company, Yokogawa Europe bv. The agreement covers the supply of a range of two, three and five-valve manifold blocks, components that allow fluid instrumentation to be interfaced to process tubing and piping with flow path arrangements to suit all standard process requirements. The agreement means that Parker Instrumentation manifolds are now listed as part of Yokogawa Europe’s SAP quoting and supply system. Efficiency of supply will be enhanced by stock, complementing Yokogawa’s significant DPharp pressure transmitter stockholdings at its European Logistics Centre in The Netherlands. Yokogawa is also able to call on the substantial stockholdings of Parker Instrumentation’s own logistics centres and distribution outlets throughout the European and African territories covered by the agreement. Parker Instrumentation won preferred status on the basis of its design and manufacturing quality standards, and the strength of its manufacturing and supply chain – all attributes of which Yokogawa has practical knowledge and experience, on a number of projects.
