Moolicious!

MaggieMoo’s stores feature a bright, cheerful store design that is adorned with Maggie graphics featuring the “Tail of MaggieMoo” and the “Girlz In the Herd”, which bring out the child in everyone.

Operating since 1980 and with annual sales of more than $80 million, Pirtek sells and services custom hydraulic and industrial hoses and fittings. Pirtek (pronounced Purr-tek) is a derivative of Pirelli Technology, the tire and rubber giant. Custom hydraulic hoses are used in a variety of industries including agriculture, manufacturing, food processing, construction, transport and engineering.

While most replacement hoses are supplied as spare parts by original equipment manufacturers or sold within hydraulic equipment supply shops, Pirtek offers two specialized options. Hoses are made to order and installed from on-site mobile vans stocked with the full range of hoses and fittings, or sold over the counter at the retail hose service centers that serve as home base to the mobile fleet. This competitive edge has enabled the company to become a worldwide leader in the industry.

Total Product Range

In addition to hydraulic hose products, Pirtek offers a comprehensive mix of products like industrial rubber, PVC, thermoplastic and specialty hoses. Many customers of hydraulic hose products have always had additional demand for other hose types. But there had never been a successful integration of these broad products under one umbrella. Today that integration is complete and is incorporated within the Pirtek Hose Center Network. Customers can now source their entire fluid power, industrial and specialist hoses, fittings and accessories from their Pirtek Hose Center.

Mobile Service

Each Pirtek Center is equipped to provide rapid response site services to its customers in the field. Mobile units are established as workshops of equipment and inventory to cater for the breakdown demands of the client; making hose assemblies available right at the point of demand. This response time can potentially save customers thousands of dollars in avoided downtime.

The Pirtek Franchise – A System Geared Toward Your Success

Since 1980, the Pirtek network has honed its business techniques into an effective system with revenues growing system-wide more than 20% each year. In 1996, Pirtek USA began the development of the Pirtek system here in the United States.

Pirtek USA has the advantage of using techniques developed through years of research by the Pirtek system worldwide. With Pirtek, you have years of experience and expertise at your side in this over $1 billion market.

Whether it’s assisting you in finding a suitable location, conducting a regional market analysis or negotiating sales contracts with national customers that benefit local centers, the Pirtek strategic system supports you every step of the way.

The Competitive Advantage

You’ll be surprised to learn your investment secures much more than the Pirtek brand name. Pirtek franchisees are investing in hard assets, as well as in their future. As a franchisee, you own or lease all your center’s equipment, an extensive inventory and the accounts receivable. As the business grows, you have the security of knowing you are not only generating revenues each year, but you are also increasing capital at the same time.

Complete Training Pirtek starts you off on the right foot with comprehensive business training both at our National Headquarters and in-the-field. The support continues with on-going product and sales training, as well as field product and systems education. Even if you do not know anything about hydraulics or the hose industry, it is your business management skills that are the key to making your Pirtek Center a success. A mechanical background is not necessary! Pirtek USA assists franchisees in training employees in the technical aspects of custom hydraulic hose assemblies, hose fittings and installation of the products.

The Best In Franchise Support

Pirtek UK was named the “1997 Franchisor of the Year” by the British Franchise Association. Among a prestigious group of franchisor finalists, judges chose Pirtek for its focus on franchise support and overall relationship between Pirtek and its franchisees.
