Fluid Power Systems Leader Celebrates Successful Second Quarter with Three New Units

July 21, 2014 // Franchising.com // Rockledge, Fla. – Pirtek, an industry leader in fluid power system hose repair, celebrated a second quarter of steady growth and revenue increases, which has set the positive momentum for the remaining half of 2014.

From April through July, U.S. Pirtek center sales experienced a 25% revenue increase compared to the second quarter of 2013. So far this year, the company has added three franchise locations: Houston, TX; Tucson, AZ and St. Louis, MO. As a result, Pirtek now has 48 shops across the country.

As a reflection of the strong momentum that Pirtek has built over the past year, the industry leader will be celebrating the opening of its 50th unit in Baltimore, MD in October. The franchise is also looking forward to openings in Birmingham, AL; San Antonio, TX, Grapevine, TX and Detroit, MI.

Pirtek is a sales-driven, service-based business that focuses on repairing and maintaining hydraulic and pneumatic-powered machines. The Pirtek brand promises and delivers 7-day, 24-hour service and an incredible 1-hour response time on emergency calls. Globally, the brand has more than 2,000 service technicians and nearly 400 locations in 23 countries. The company is vibrant and stable, having been continuously operated for more than 30 years.

The company's 2014 goals include new market development in Florida, California, Texas, Ohio, Tennessee, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas and North Carolina.

Pirtek also has two corporate resale opportunities in the Los Angeles area. The company's Inland Valley location had a record breaking March with revenue of $140,000, which was a 125% increase from the previous year. Pirtek's Commerce South location also had an impressive March with revenue of $111,000, which was a 13% increase from 2013.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for an entrepreneur or investor to take over a growing business with an impressive revenue stream," said Gwyn O'Kane, Pirtek USA Vice President for Franchise Development.

As a reflection of the valuable business opportunity it offers to savvy entrepreneurs, the brand was ranked in the Top 500 Franchises for 2014 in Entrepreneur.

"Pirtek franchisees are business leaders, not mechanics. They position a team of top-notch technicians that tackle unique and challenging projects," added O'Kane. "After a customer has experienced the Pirtek difference and seen that we can quickly repair their machine on their premises and get them running again, they are a customer for life. That's what makes us different."
