Concept Description
Mission Statement
Our mission at PIRTEK USA is to enable motivated entrepreneurs to accomplish the dream of owning their own business by using a system that has proven to be successful around the world.
About the Company
PIRTEK USA is a fully equipped hydraulic hose service center with equipment and machinery needed for producing hose assemblies. Franchise owners worldwide have come from many walks of life, with backgrounds in areas such as banking, sales, marketing, and industrial management. Few, if any, have specific hydraulic or mechanical training.
Operating as a well-supported business format franchise system, a PIRTEK franchise owner acquires the rights to establish, own, and operate one or more PIRTEK centers in exclusive geographic territories. With the PIRTEK system, you, as a franchise owner, have 29 years of experience and expertise at your side. You are in business for yourself, not by yourself.
Pirtek’s mantra is “The best service at a competitive price.” This competitive edge has enabled the company to grow more than 37 PIRTEK Centers in the U.S. and over 312 PIRTEK Centers around the globe. The U.S. will become PIRTEK’s largest market; the company plans to franchise over 200 locations.
Services
PIRTEK is the world’s leading service provider of hydraulic hoses, couplings, metric and standard fittings, and other accessories for on-site hose replacement. The PIRTEK brand is associated with the highest levels of service, responsiveness, and dependability.
Each PIRTEK Center offers customers over-the-counter service, fully equipped mobile service vans for 24-hour emergency on-site service, and preventative maintenance programs. All of these services assist in reducing customers’ downtime and saving valuable time and money.
Products
PIRTEK’s standard for product selection is extremely high and world-renowned. Manufacturers for the range of PIRTEK’s hoses, fittings, and assemblies must meet benchmark standards for quality, reliability, performance, technological innovation and product support, all of which include research, deelopment, training and technical literature.
Each PIRTEK Center stocks more than 2,400 product lines to cater to the many needs of the PIRTEK customer. Centers draw on their range for quality products and support services for sales to their customers. Centers are established as the headquarters for mobile vans and administrative operations of the business.
Customers
PIRTEK’s customer base incorporates a broad cross-section of industries, including agriculture, building, construction, civil engineering, earth moving, manufacturing, offshore drilling, mining, marine, transport, waste, and production. These opportunities represent a business estimated to be worth billions of dollars per year in the U.S hydraulic hose market.
