PIRTEK USA Expands Its Mobile Hose Services with New Territories and Locations in 2026 Q3

PIRTEK USA, a leader in mobile and retail hydraulic and industrial hose services, has demonstrated its unwavering growth during the third quarter of 2026. The company has expanded by awarding 12 new territories and opening five additional locations across key markets in the United States. This development underscores PIRTEK’s commitment to strengthening its franchise network and enhancing service delivery to its customers.

Continuous Growth and New Franchise Owners

In the third quarter, eight franchise owners joined the PIRTEK family, signaling strong interest from new entrepreneurs eager to partake in a booming sector. Of these, six new franchise owners are entering the system for the first time, while two existing franchisees are expanding their reach into new areas. New territories span across several states, including Ohio, New Hampshire, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Texas, and Oregon.

The new locations launched are PIRTEK Fort Mill, PIRTEK Stockton, PIRTEK Las Vegas North, PIRTEK Edison, and PIRTEK Columbia, Missouri. This aggressive expansion indicates a high demand for PIRTEK’s services, especially in industries requiring reliable hydraulic and industrial hose solutions.

Leadership Insights

Kim Gubera, the President and CEO of PIRTEK USA and PIRTEK Canada, commented on the company’s momentum, stating, “We’re seeing strong growth across the PIRTEK network, from new franchise owners opening their first locations to experienced owners venturing into additional markets. This momentum reflects the opportunities within our network and the strength of our franchise system.” She emphasized the importance of sustainability in growth, which hinges on having the right team and systems in place.

This quarter also marked a significant achievement for Gubera as she was appointed to the International Franchise Association (IFA) Board of Directors, showcasing PIRTEK’s rising influence within the franchise community. Her leadership has been pivotal, with the U.S. franchise network growing by an impressive 178% over seven years, surpassing 200 locations in 2026.

Strengthening the Leadership Team

PIRTEK USA has also made significant moves to enhance its leadership team. Doug Smith has been appointed as Vice President of Franchise Development, focusing on expanding franchises and building relationships with prospective franchisees. Meanwhile, Kieran Scott has been promoted to Chief Franchise Operations Officer, tasked with ensuring that current franchisees receive the training and resources necessary to thrive.

Recognizing Outstanding Franchisees

Furthermore, PIRTEK’s commitment to its franchisees is evidenced by the recognition of outstanding performances within its network. Wes Snyder, a multi-unit franchise owner, received the prestigious title of 2026 Franchisee of the Year by the IFA. Snyder’s success reflects PIRTEK’s emphasis on franchisee support and advocacy. During the quarter, he also opened a new location in Columbia, Missouri, expanding his already impressive portfolio.

As existing franchisees begin to open new locations, there is an increased trend in multi-unit ownership, as seen with David Kellerstrass, Randy White, and Tim Kelly, who have all committed to growing their PIRTEK presence in the competitive Dallas-Fort Worth market.

Ongoing Industry Recognition

PIRTEK continues to gain accolades within the franchise sector, having been included in Franchise Times' Top 400 for three consecutive years, a ranking that recognizes the largest franchise systems in the U.S. based on global sales. James Doyle, Chief Marketing Officer for PIRTEK USA, stated, “Growth is only sustainable when you have the right people, systems, and support behind it,” reiterating the company’s commitment to investing in its franchise network.

Future Prospects

Looking ahead, PIRTEK is poised to capitalize on the growing demand in construction, manufacturing, logistics, utilities, and transportation, where equipment uptime is critical. As 2026 comes to a close, the company is focused on not only maintaining its current trajectory but also on expanding its footprint with both new and existing franchise owners.

PIRTEK’s robust business model, including a 1-Hour ETA service and 24/7 emergency response capabilities, allows franchisees to provide unparalleled service to their customers, which in turn, minimizes equipment downtime. As PIRTEK aims to attract a diversified franchisee base, its comprehensive training and marketing support systems ensure that aspiring entrepreneurs can succeed.
