PIRTEK USA, a provider of on-site and retail hydraulic and industrial hose services, has opened its 200th location in the United States, marking a significant milestone in the company’s nationwide expansion.
The achievement comes after a record-breaking 2025 for the brand, during which PIRTEK awarded 61 franchise units and opened 41 new locations, the strongest development year in the company’s history. Reaching the 200-location mark early in 2026 highlights the accelerating pace of the brand’s growth and the continued demand for its essential-service business model.
Headquartered in Rockledge, Florida, PIRTEK USA operates a franchise network that provides hydraulic hose repair, replacement and maintenance services to industrial and commercial customers. The company’s model combines retail service centres with mobile service vehicles designed to deliver on-site hose replacement, often within an hour, to minimize costly equipment downtime.
The brand’s services are widely used across industries such as construction, manufacturing, transportation, waste management, utilities and agriculture sectors where equipment powered by hydraulic systems plays a critical operational role.
“This milestone represents the dedication of our franchisees and the growing demand for PIRTEK’s services,” said Kim Gubera, President and CEO of PIRTEK USA and PIRTEK Canada. “Reaching 200 U.S. locations demonstrates the strength of our system and the momentum we have built across the country.”
The company’s expansion strategy has focused on high-growth industrial regions and underserved markets where equipment maintenance and uptime are critical to business operations. PIRTEK’s business-to-business model has also attracted franchise investors looking for service-based concepts tied to infrastructure and industrial activity.
In addition to opening new locations in 2025, the company signed multiple franchise agreements with both new and existing operators, building a strong pipeline of future openings across the United States.
According to John Dobelbower, Vice President of franchise development for PIRTEK USA and PIRTEK Canada, the company expects the expansion momentum to continue through 2026 as more entrepreneurs look to enter the essential services sector.
Founded in Australia, PIRTEK has grown into a global network with more than 500 locations across over 20 countries. The company entered the U.S. market in the 1990s and has since steadily expanded through franchising, establishing a nationwide presence supported by training programs, operational support and a centralized supply chain.
With 200 U.S. locations now operational, PIRTEK plans to continue expanding into new territories while strengthening its presence in existing markets.
