Parker’s world-recognized tiger
mascot has represented the
Parkrimp No-Skive hose assembly
program since its introduction in
1980. In a contest originally held
by our marketing department, the
tiger was the winning suggestion
over three others: a turtle (deemed
“too slow”), an alligator (“not very
good looking”) and a shark (“too
intimidating” particularly at the time
of the release of the movie Jaws).
More than three decades later,
the tiger graphic still supports the
Parkrimp message everywhere,
clearly symbolizing our unique,
patented Parkrimp fttings with
tapered steel teeth and our
Parkrimp crimping machines.
Their ability to eliminate hose cover
skiving and achieve the metal-to-
metal grip of factory assemblies
revolutionized the process for
markets worldwide. And today,
it’s the industry standard.
