Pirtek acquired by its Australian founders

The Duncan family, who founded global franchise platform, Pirtek Fluid Transfer Solutions, has successfully acquired Pirtek USA LLC.

The acquisition increases the Pirtek footprint within the industry and adds to an already impressive global presence, thus leading towards an exciting time for the group of affiliated companies.

This acquisition by the Duncan family creates further synergies across the Pacific, while strengthening PIRTEK’s existing partnerships in Africa, Canada, China Mongolia, New Zealand and Singapore.

“As a group, this will allow Pirtek to broaden the customer base with a high level of corporate strength and stability, while increasing market share, setting long term objectives and outcomes that we can all be proud of,” said Pirtek International Director, Glenn Duncan.

“We would like to extend our thanks to Morgan Arundel, President of Pirtek USA for giving us the opportunity to bring the US into our group of companies. We are looking forward to working with the team in America well into the future.”

The Pirtek Franchise model, which was established in Australia in 1980 by the Duncan family, has been recognized as one of the premier franchising formats around the world.

There are over 400 Pirtek Service and Supply Centres and Mobile units globally, 97 of those in Australia. Pirtek USA opened its 50th centre in Milwaukee earlier this month.
