Essential-Service Brand Builds on Record-Breaking 2025 with Continued Expansion Momentum in 2026

ROCKLEDGE, FL (MARCH 5, 2026) – PIRTEK USA, the nation’s leading provider of on-site and retail hydraulic and industrial hose service, has officially opened its 200th location in the United States, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s continued national expansion.

The achievement follows a record-breaking 2025, when PIRTEK awarded 61 franchise units and opened 41 new locations, the strongest year of growth in company history. Reaching 200 locations so early in 2026 emphasizes the brand’s accelerating development pace and sustained demand for essential, B2B-focused service franchises.

“This milestone represents so much more than a number,” said Kim Gubera, President & CEO of PIRTEK USA and PIRTEK Canada. “Opening our 200th U.S. location reflects the real strength of our franchise system, the dedication of our franchisees and employees, and the increasing demand for PIRTEK as the provider of essential services that keep businesses operating. We could not have reached 200 without the strong network that is our foundation. We’re thrilled to celebrate this achievement with all of TEAM PIRTEK and are excited to continue our growth across the country.”

PIRTEK’s expansion has been fueled by its recession-resistant business model and commitment to minimizing customer downtime through 24/7/365 on-site service and retail support. Serving industries such as construction, manufacturing, logistics, utilities, transportation, and waste management, PIRTEK continues to attract entrepreneurs seeking scalable, service-driven franchise opportunities tied to infrastructure and industrial uptime.

The 200-location milestone also reflects strong multi-unit momentum and continued interest from both first-time franchisees and experienced owners expanding their PIRTEK footprints with additional territories.

“Crossing the 200-location mark is a testament to the confidence entrepreneurs have in our model,” said John Dobelbower, Vice President of Franchise Development for PIRTEK USA and PIRTEK Canada. “Our record-breaking development in 2025 created a robust pipeline heading into this year. We’re seeing serious candidates prioritize durable, service-based businesses, and PIRTEK continues to stand out because of our systems, support, and long-term growth potential.”

With operations now spanning the majority of the United States and continued expansion planned in key industrial and infrastructure-driven markets, PIRTEK is positioned to build on its milestone achievement throughout the remainder of 2026.The brand’s growth strategy remains focused on supporting existing franchisees, strengthening operational performance across the system, and expanding into high-demand territories where essential service is critical to keeping local economies moving.
