What Pirtek USA does

Pirtek USA is a Rockledge, Florida-headquartered franchisor of mobile hydraulic and industrial hose replacement services, operating a U.S. network of more than 200 franchise locations across 35 states plus Puerto Rico with a fleet of over 450 fully equipped mobile service vehicles. The company was founded in 1998, acquired by the Duncan family in 2014, and received a strategic investment from Princeton Equity Group in October 2023 while the Duncan family and key management retained ownership; Kim Gubera continues as President and CEO of both PIRTEK USA and PIRTEK Canada.

The core technology and service is on-site hose fabrication: mobile technicians travel to customer job sites and cut, clean, tag, and crimp hose assemblies in situ, with a stated 1-hour ETA available 24/7/365. The product stack includes the proprietary PIRTEK Hose Tagging System (recording dimensions, pressure rating, fitting type, installation date, and equipment details), a hose cleaning process to prevent contamination, the PIRTEK Endurance Series premium hydraulic hose, Clean Seal Capsules for storage cleanliness, and a Preventative Maintenance Program for proactive replacement. Supporting services include counter service at Service & Supply Centers, machining and component recovery, tube bending, and a specialized Defense Supply and Government Contracting line that supplies certified hoses for fighter jets, naval vessels, and Marine Corps equipment.

Pirtek USA's business model combines franchising economics with B2B industrial services. The franchisor generates revenue from initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties while franchisees earn revenue from on-site and counter service fees, plus sale of hydraulic and industrial hoses, fittings, adapters, and accessories. End customers operate in construction, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, waste management, earthmoving, agriculture, landscaping, defense, and other essential industries where equipment downtime carries a high cost. Distribution is executed through independently owned franchise locations (mobile + counter service), supplemented by a national accounts program managed by a dedicated Director of National Accounts to consolidate multi-location enterprise demand across the franchise network.
