THG Corporation Celebrates Northborough MA (2-1-2010) – Carey Rhoten, Chairman of THG Corporation, today announced that the company and its three subsidiaries, The Hope Group LLC, Hope Air Systems LLC and Sorensen Systems LLC, will acknowledge and celebrate during 2010, the enduring relationship as a Parker Hannifin full-line distributor for the past 50 years. “As a Partner with Parker since 1960, we have emerged as one of the largest and most versatile independent industrial distributors in New England,” said Carey Rhoten. “Since our founding as a Massachusetts corporation in 1933, the company has constantly evolved and reinvented itself to meet the changing requirements of the industrial base in New England, but it was the association with Parker that allowed us to stay out front of our competitors,” added Rhoten. The company operates from a 60,000 square foot headquarters and manufacturing location in Central Massachusetts as well as from five other New England locations, including The Leen Company in Portland, ME and Bosworth Fluid Connectors in Cranston, Rhode Island. In total, the company operates six ParkerStores, which are located in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The company has 120 employees, including 25 outside sales engineers, plus an in-house engineering, fabrication and assembly facility. “Success in the evolving manufacturing sector in New England has required THG Corporation, and its subsidiary companies, to change and innovate over the years,” said Tony Cantone, President of The Hope Group LLC. “We have relied on a partnership approach with Parker in identifying markets and presenting solutions to our customers,” added Cantone. According to Tony Cantone, 60 percent of THG Corporation’s sales are complete motion and control package solutions and systems, as opposed to relying on sales of components and replacement parts. “Our value to our customers is more than bringing a stocking location into range; rather, it’s bringing a total solution to an engineering or manufacturing challenge, backed by the components and technology that we draw from Parker and other premium industrial sources,” said Cantone. The THG Corporation two-day Open House and Trade Show will be held at its headquarters, 70 Bearfoot Road, Northborough MA, on Wednesday, October 8, 2008 and Thursday, October 9, 2008. The event will feature a guided tour for visitors through the 60,000 square foot warehouse and fabrication facility, with presentations from experts on hydraulics, pneumatics, automation, hose & fittings, air compressors, o-rings, fluid controls, vendor managed inventory control, instrumentation and engineered motion and control systems. “Our 50 year history with Parker has been highlighted by a constantly evolving marketplace and the necessary emerging technologies from Parker that kept us in a leadership position with our customers,” said Carey Rhoten. “We believe that partnership served us well and will continue to do so in the years ahead,” he added.
