Ten new locations and eleven additional territory awards pushed PIRTEK USA’s expansion during the second quarter of 2026, building on a record-setting start to the year. The hydraulic and industrial hose service provider reached these milestones as existing owners doubled down on their investments alongside new entrants to the system.
The brand’s growth strategy currently relies on a mix of veteran franchisee expansion and new leadership. Three of the ten new sites opened between April and June were launched by existing owners, including new locations in Goodyear, Arizona; NELA, Louisiana; and North Hills, Pennsylvania. This internal expansion reinforces the company’s claim that its business model remains attractive to those already familiar with its operations.
New markets also saw significant movement, most notably with the entry into Nebraska. Brothers Jim and Andy Dufek secured the rights for the Omaha territory, marking the brand’s debut in the state. The duo plans to leverage their background in data analysis and business ownership to scale into a multi-market operation within their first year.
Beyond physical footprint, PIRTEK garnered external validation during the quarter. Entrepreneur Magazine ranked the company No. 3 in its Services category, while Franchise Business Review included the brand on its Culture100 list. These accolades arrived shortly after the company’s annual conference in Orlando, where leadership focused on training and community initiatives to keep the network aligned as it scales. With demand remaining steady across the construction, logistics, and manufacturing sectors, the company enters the second half of the year with a robust development pipeline focused on critical equipment maintenance.
