PIRTEK USA’s Rapid Growth: How the Hydraulic Hose Leader Expanded in 2024

May 14, 20254 min read

PIRTEK in USA has become synonymous with speed, reliability, and smart expansion. In 2024, the hydraulic hose repair giant not only expanded its national footprint but also climbed significant ranks in the franchise industry. While many sectors faced economic slowdowns, PIRTEK accelerated its growth trajectory with strategic franchising, market expansion, and community-driven partnerships. Their signature blue and white vans became a common sight in new cities, signaling a brand that wasn’t just growing — it was dominating.

From being ranked among the fastest-growing franchises to empowering technicians to become successful owners, PIRTEK made waves in both business and human impact. Their ability to scale while staying true to their values made them a standout in a crowded market.

Here's how they did it — and why it continues to rank among the best franchises to own.

Bold Moves That Redefined 2024 for PIRTEK USA

PIRTEK USA closed 2024 with record-breaking growth in new locations and industry recognition.

In 2024, PIRTEK USA added 25 new locations and awarded 45 new territories. That aggressive push took them into untapped markets, from urban hotspots to underserved regions. Existing franchisees expanded their reach, while new owners entered the system, backed by robust corporate support.

This momentum didn’t go unnoticed. PIRTEK USA climbed 20 places on the Franchise Times Top 400 list, landing at No. 117. It was also listed in Entrepreneur Magazine's Top 50 Fastest-Growing Franchises and ranked No. 113 in the Franchise 500. These accolades solidified its status as one of the best franchises to own in the service sector.

The company also emphasized internal promotions and franchisee success, resulting in higher franchise satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Inside the PIRTEK Franchise Model

A proven model attracts both first-time and seasoned franchisees.

What makes a PIRTEK franchise stand out is its two-tier model: mobile-only or a full brick-and-mortar center. This flexibility allows entrepreneurs to scale based on their goals and market demand.

  • Initial investment: $235,000 to $667,000

  • Annual average revenue: Approx. $937,000 per facility

  • Requirements: Net worth of $500K and liquid capital of $150K

This model offers a practical entry point for aspiring business owners, especially those transitioning from corporate roles or trades.

"You don’t need to know hydraulic hoses to be successful," says franchisee Matt Krasowski. "What you need is the work ethic, and PIRTEK gives you the rest."

Matt’s story is particularly inspiring — having started as a PIRTEK technician, he eventually became a franchise owner. His journey reflects PIRTEK’s strong internal training, franchisee mentoring, and promotion opportunities. Matt advises, “Follow the model, be coachable, and success will come. PIRTEK is here to help you win.”

How PIRTEK in USA Builds More Than Just Business

Community partnerships and strong franchise culture are central to PIRTEK’s growth.

In 2024, PIRTEK deepened its social impact by partnering with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which supports veterans and first responders. The brand’s commitment to service extends beyond repair trucks — it’s about building community.

Internally, PIRTEK promotes from within, with stories like Matt Krasowski’s journey from employee to franchise owner. These narratives reflect a strong company culture that fuels franchisee success.

Franchisees are also encouraged to participate in local outreach, positioning PIRTEK as a community-first brand, not just a service provider.

What’s Next for PIRTEK Franchise Expansion in 2025?

The momentum from 2024 has already spilled into 2025.

PIRTEK kicked off 2025 by entering Kansas and Delaware for the first time, opening 10 new locations and awarding 20 new territories in Q1 alone. This positions the brand for even more explosive growth, with franchise interest rising.

The company also plans to invest further in franchisee training, digital operations, and infrastructure to maintain momentum and quality.

For those exploring the PIRTEK franchise, 2025 presents a unique window of opportunity.

A Franchise on the Fast Track

PIRTEK in USA has proven that even in uncertain times, the right model, mission, and mindset can drive exponential growth. As it expands its reach and deepens its impact, PIRTEK remains one of the best franchises to own for those ready to get their hands dirty and build something meaningful.
