Exhibit (a)(5)(D)

PARKER HANNIFIN CORPORATION EXTENDS ITS CASH OFFER FOR

DENISON INTERNATIONAL PLC

February 5, 2004—Cleveland—Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH) announced today that it has extended the offer period of its tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Denison International plc (Nasdaq: DENHY) for $24.00 per share in cash without interest. The offer, unless further extended or terminated, is extended until 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on Thursday, February 12, 2004, and includes all of the outstanding A Ordinary Shares (£8.00 par value per share); as well as all of the Ordinary Shares ($0.01 par value per share), including those Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares, outstanding at any time during the offer.

Parker is extending the offer because all of the conditions to the offer, including obtaining a required regulatory approval in Austria, were not satisfied or waived before the expiration of the offer period, which was scheduled to expire at 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on Thursday, February 5, 2004.

Parker expects to obtain this regulatory approval within the next ten business days. If all of the conditions to the offer, including obtaining the required regulatory approval, are not satisfied or waived on or before the new expiration date, Parker expects to extend the offer for additional periods as necessary until such conditions are satisfied.

As a consequence of the extension of the initial offer period, holders of Denison shares may tender or withdraw their shares until 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on Thursday, February 12, 2004 unless the offer is further extended or earlier terminated. If the offer is further extended, Parker will issue a news release no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the day on which the offer was previously scheduled to expire.

Denison shareholders holding approximately 47% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, including those Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares, on a fully diluted basis and approximately 99% of the outstanding A Ordinary Shares on a fully diluted basis have entered into tender agreements with Parker to tender their shares.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 4, 2004, approximately 95% of the total number of Denison’s outstanding A Ordinary Shares on a fully diluted basis and approximately 91% of the total number of Denison’s outstanding Ordinary Shares, including those Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares, on a fully diluted basis had been validly tendered and not withdrawn. These include 6,639 A Ordinary Shares and 9,543,069 Ordinary Shares, including those Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares. Of the 9,543,069 Ordinary Shares, 28,100 Ordinary Shares (including those Ordinary Shares represented by American Depositary Shares) were tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures.
