Industry Veteran to Build and Strengthen National and Regional Partnerships Across Key Sectors

ROCKLEDGE, FL (JANUARY 8, 2026) – PIRTEK USA, an on-site and retail hydraulic and industrial hose service provider, announced today the appointment of Todd Ellis as its new Director of National Accounts. Ellis brings over 28 years of industry experience to the role, where he will focus on maximizing existing partnerships, developing new national and regional relationships, and creating a strong, systematic approach to PIRTEK’s growing national accounts program.

Before joining PIRTEK, Ellis built his career in the uniform rental sector, serving industries that closely align with PIRTEK’s customer base, including oil and gas, rental, and manufacturing. He spent nearly three decades working with operations teams, developing solutions to minimize downtime, ensure safety, and improve efficiency, experience he sees as directly applicable to PIRTEK’s value proposition.

“I see so many similarities between my past work and PIRTEK’s mission,” said Ellis. “Every industry values safety, consistency, and uptime. PIRTEK’s 24/7/365 service, professionally trained technicians, and ability to deliver consistent national pricing and support make us a partner of choice. My goal is to build a powerful, sustainable national and regional accounts program that gives our customers confidence at every level of their operations.”

In his new role, Ellis will strengthen relationships with PIRTEK’s current national partners, ensuring they receive maximum value from the system, while also pursuing new opportunities through a top-down approach. His priorities include advancing safety standards, building consistency across locations, and developing a structured national and regional pricing model. By working closely with PIRTEK franchisees, Ellis also plans to create a foundation of collaboration that allows the entire franchise system to benefit from large-scale partnerships.

“Todd’s background in managing national relationships and his deep understanding of operational challenges make him the perfect fit to lead this initiative,” said John Dobelbower, VP of Franchise Development at PIRTEK USA and PIRTEK Canada. “As we continue to expand our franchise system and strengthen our brand both nationally and regionally, his leadership will ensure we are delivering unmatched value to customers while creating opportunities for our franchisees to grow.”

PIRTEK USA is starting 2026 with strong momentum, expanding its footprint to more than 175 franchise locations across the U.S. With Ellis joining the leadership team, the brand is doubling down on its commitment to delivering consistent, high-quality service nationwide, positioning itself for new levels of growth.
