Pirtek USA strengthens with more franchise growth strategies

By Mary Gannon | April 24, 2024

Pirtek USA experienced continued growth in Q1 with eight openings and seven signed agreements. Among the new openings were four first-time Pirtek franchisees as well as expansions from four existing franchisees. The signings comprised six new franchisees and one existing franchisee expanding their territory through the signing of a resale agreement. This growth reflects the increasing demand for top-tier hydraulic and industrial service providers across the country.

Since January, Pirtek has opened a location in Memphis; Lafayette, Louisiana; Tomball, Texas; Rosenberg, Texas; Athens, Georgia; Lansing, Michigan; Victorville, California; and Pembroke, Massachusetts. Additionally, Pirtek’s signed franchise agreements will bring new locations to Oklahoma City; Beaumont, Texas; Savannah; Idaho Falls, Idaho; Weatherford, Texas; and Social Circle, Georgia.

“Our continued growth is a testament to the premium services we provide essential industries as well as the confidence our franchise partners have in the Pirtek brand,” said Kim Gubera, CEO for Pirtek USA. “Seeing our franchisees thriving and seizing opportunities for growth within our network underscores the strength of our franchise model. We look forward to supporting their continued success in delivering world-class hydraulic and industrial hose services to their communities.”

Experienced entrepreneur and existing Pirtek franchisee Brian Rue – owner of Pirtek Northwest Crossing, Baytown, Pearland, and recently opened Tomball – has seen so much success with the brand that he made the obvious decision to expand.

“Adding another franchise to our portfolio stems from the remarkable success we’ve experienced with Pirtek,” said Rue. “Our existing locations have not only met but exceeded our expectations, solidifying our confidence in the brand, and we look forward to contributing to the continued growth and success of the Pirtek brand.”

Additionally, late last year, Princeton Equity Group (“Princeton”), a private equity firm exclusively focused on the franchisor and multi-unit industry, invested in Pirtek with the goal to bring additional resources and support to the existing franchisee and customer base, as well as expand the company’s North American footprint. With their backing, Pirtek plans to build upon their forward momentum and double their sales and units in the next five years.

Pirtek prides itself on filling customers’ hose service needs quickly and efficiently, having the widest variety of superior products and parts to keep essential projects running. Their quick turnaround time is also credited to the 24/7/365 on-site emergency hose service offered to hydraulic and industrial-based businesses, enabling customers to be up and running again quickly, minimizing equipment downtime due to a hose failure.

Pirtek onboards potential franchisees who put customer service at the forefront of their mission, and it welcomes driven individuals from all industries, regardless of technical experience. An initial investment for PIRTEK ranges from $216,400 – $619,300. Franchisees can expect extensive in-person and online training and ongoing support, and exclusive territories.
