PIRTEK USA Sees Strong Growth for Hose Services in Q2 2025
Hydraulic and industrial hose service provider PIRTEK USA experienced strong growth during the second quarter of 2025 through the opening of nine new locations and signing of 10 new franchise units.
According to the company, its newest locations will help meet rising demand for hose services across the United States. Among the new PIRTEK locations opened during the quarter was the company’s first in Delaware while the others further expand the company’s presence in Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, Texas, and South Carolina.
PIRTEK’s franchisee network grew as well with the signing of 10 new franchise agreements, three of which are in Ohio which the company said underscores its commitment to strategic growth in high-potential regions.
In a year that has been more challenging for the fluid power industry and its many customer markets, PIRTEK’s growth in the second quarter demonstrates this has not been the case for all segments.
Power & Motion spoke with John Dobelbower, PIRTEK's Vice President of Franchise Development, about the market drivers that helped the company achieve growth during the second quarter of 2025.
Power & Motion: Are there any industry or customer trends which the company feels helped drive growth as well as the opening of new locations and signing of new franchises during the second quarter?
John Dobelbower: We’re continuing to see significant demand for mobile, on-site hydraulic and industrial hose services particularly from sectors like construction, manufacturing, logistics, and transportation. These industries are operating on tighter schedules with less tolerance for downtime, which makes fast, responsive service more critical than ever. PIRTEK’s mobile model has become an essential resource for these customers.
From a franchising perspective, we’re also seeing a growing number of business-minded individuals who are looking for recession-resistant opportunities with strong operational support. PIRTEK offers a unique mix: we serve essential industries, provide 24/7 service, and operate within a B2B (business to business) structure that appeals to those looking for long-term stability. That combination continues to fuel interest and unit growth.
Power & Motion: Is the company seeing greater demand for hydraulic and industrial hose services? If so, what is helping drive this demand?
John Dobelbower: Yes, we’re seeing that demand increase quarter over quarter. A big part of it is simply the aging infrastructure and equipment across key industries, especially in sectors like construction, mining, and transportation. These systems are under strain and require ongoing maintenance to stay operational. There’s also a growing expectation for faster response times.
PIRTEK is uniquely positioned to meet that need with a service model that dispatches trained technicians directly to a job site, minimizing downtime and getting customers back to work quickly. That’s a huge differentiator in today’s economy.
Power & Motion: Are there particular regions where you are seeing more interest for PIRTEK’s services?
John Dobelbower: We’re seeing strong demand nationwide, but there are a few regions that stand out. The Southeast and Midwest have been especially active, both in terms of customer need and franchise development. Those areas are experiencing steady industrial activity and infrastructure investment, which naturally drives the need for reliable hydraulic service providers.
We’re also seeing increased interest along the West Coast, particularly in port cities and logistics hubs where downtime can have major ripple effects across supply chains. Our scalable model allows us to move quickly into high-demand areas, and we’re actively expanding into markets where our services can make an immediate impact.
Power & Motion: Does the company foresee growth continuing for the rest of 2025 and into the coming year? If so, what will help drive this continued growth?
John Dobelbower: Absolutely. We expect growth to continue through the remainder of 2025 and well into 2026. There are a few key drivers behind that outlook. First, the industries we serve aren’t slowing down. If anything, they’re evolving to become even more reliant on rapid-response maintenance and repair. Second, we’ve invested heavily in supporting our franchisees with the tools, systems, and training they need to succeed and scale. That support translates into high satisfaction and strong performance, which in turn attracts new franchisees.
And finally, our team remains focused on strategic growth, expanding into markets with high demand and making sure we maintain the service quality PIRTEK is known for. It’s not just about more locations; it’s about making sure every new location strengthens the overall network.
