What is PIRTEK?
PIRTEK has been in the hydraulic hose repair and replacement franchise business for more than 40 years. Our franchisees own and operate stores and fleets of vehicles in order to provide hydraulic hose repair and replacement to all types of clients. Not only can customers come to our retail stores to purchase the products and services they need to keep their hydraulic systems running smoothly, but our mobile service units can also go right to them to offer help when it’s needed most. Since hydraulic systems are an integral part of most machines, we have a wide customer base. We work with individuals and businesses alike, so our services are always in demand.
These are just a few examples of the
many customers we serve.

Who is Qualified to Run a PIRTEK Industrial Franchise?
Our franchisees don’t need to be mechanical experts. Rather, they work on growing their business, marketing, record keeping, scheduling new clients, and hire mechanically inclined employees to handle repairs and sales.
We’re looking for franchisees who are dedicated to growing a new business, and who aren’t afraid to put in a lot of hands-on work – especially during the early days of their PIRTEK franchise. Our franchisees come from all sorts of backgrounds: corporate executives, mechanics/operators, and those with managerial experience and are all looking to take the next step in their career. If you’re dedicated to starting and growing your own business, you might be a good fit for an industrial franchise!
Why Should I Partner with PIRTEK Instead of Going it Alone?
There are many advantages to working with PIRTEK. Independent owners don’t have our resources or experience, and they can’t look forward to the personal guidance our franchisees enjoy. Some of the support PIRTEK franchise owners take advantage of every day include:
- Use of our well-established brand name and marketing materials
- One-on-one business coaching
- Access to our computer systems, software, and other tech resources
- Use of our time-tested business model
- Recession-resistant business model
- … and much more!
