## Story

PIRTEK USA, an on-site and retail hydraulic and industrial hose service provider, reported that it closed out 2024 with record growth.

During the course of the year, the company added 45 new territories and opened 25 new locations. This includes welcoming first-time franchisees and multi-unit owners into an expanding network.

With domestic operations based in Rockledge, Florida, PIRTEK has more than 500 franchise locations in 24 countries around the world, with more than 150 U.S. locations.

“2024 has been an incredible year for PIRTEK, and our success is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our franchisees,” said Kim Gubera, CEO of PIRTEK USA. “Their entrepreneurial spirit has been key in driving our growth, and we look forward to continuing this momentum in 2025.”

With financial backing from the Princeton Equity Group, PIRTEK also said that it is on track to double sales and its location count over the next five years. In the fourth quarter of 2024, PIRTEK sold 15 new territories. This included three expansions by current franchisees and 12 new owners, along with 7 completed resales.

“Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to continue growing, with a strong pipeline of openings already in place,” added John Dobelbower, vice president of franchise development for PIRTEK. “Our focus will be on supporting our franchisees, expanding into new markets, and delivering the top-tier service that has become synonymous with the PIRTEK brand.”

PIRTEK added significantly to its corporate roster last year too. Corporate moves include:

- Dobelbower named vice president of franchise development,

- James Doyle named as chief marketing officer,

- Carissa Wendkos named director of marketing,

- Kieran Scott named vice president of franchise operations,

- Robert Spiteri named as director of information technology..

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, the company said.
