PIRTEK USA continued its robust growth by opening 10 new locations and awarding 11 additional franchise territories across the U.S. This includes the brand's first location in Nebraska, which will be operated by new franchisees with strong business backgrounds. The franchise model shows significant confidence from existing owners as they also invest in more territories.
Why It Matters
This expansion reflects the strength of PIRTEK's franchise model and may compress available territories for prospective franchisees in key markets, affecting future development opportunities.
PIRTEK USA, a prominent franchise in hydraulic and industrial hose services, has demonstrated strong growth momentum in the first half of 2026, opening ten new locations and awarding eleven additional territories. This marks a significant expansion for the brand, which has surpassed 200 locations in the U.S. earlier this year. Notably, three of the new openings are by existing franchisees, reflecting a robust franchise model that fosters confidence in long-term growth.
The new locations are spread across diverse states, including Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona, Florida, California, and Louisiana, indicating a strategic push to expand its geographical footprint. Among the awarded territories, ten are going to new franchise operators, with the brand making its debut in Nebraska through the entrepreneurial brothers Jim and Andy Dufek. With over 50 years of combined business experience, the Dufek brothers plan to grow their franchise from the initial opening in Central Omaha into a multi-market operation within their first year.
Kim Gubera, President & CEO of PIRTEK USA and PIRTEK Canada, emphasized the brand’s commitment to strategic growth with franchise owners, stating, “Franchisees at every stage of their journey continue to invest in PIRTEK because they recognize the stability of our model and the opportunity to build successful long-term businesses around the nation.”
