Triad Technologies, LLC (Triad), a leading distributor of fluid power and automation products, recently announced plans to expand into the greater Chicago area. Triad is an authorized, full line, premier Parker Hannifin distributor headquartered in Vandalia, Ohio that serves customers throughout Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. The company holds Parker Hannifin’s highest distributor designation as a Connector Technology Center, Hydraulic Technology Center, Pneumatic Technology Center, and Automation Technology Center.

“Our expansion into Chicago aligns with Triad’s plans to expand our product and service offering throughout the Midwest. This is the result of many years of planning and investments which have allowed Triad to become one of the most trusted names in the industry. We are honored that Parker Hannifin has selected Triad to represent them in such a key industrial market," says Greg Wissman, CEO of Triad Technologies.

As part of the expansion, Triad has opened a location at 840 Springer Dr., Lombard, IL 60148. The Lombard facility will serve as a branch location and warehouse and will also include a ParkerStore for any same-day hydraulic hose replacement needs.

“We are excited to service new customers in the Chicago market, not only by providing a full line of Parker products, but also the many other leading brands we carry. This is a tremendous opportunity for Triad, and we look forward to becoming the fluid power and automation supplier of choice in this region," says Matt Schatteman, Triad Technologies GM for the Chicago Region.
