On-Site Hydraulic and Industrial Hose Service Provider Sells Out Entire Territory to Two Local Franchise Groups in Under 60 Days
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (April 22, 2025) – PIRTEK USA, an on-site and retail hydraulic and industrial hose service provider, the nation’s leading provider of on-site and retail hydraulic and industrial hose services, has officially completed its planned expansion into the Greater Kansas City area. Earlier this year, the brand named Kansas City as a key target market, and within just a few weeks, awarded all available territories to two strong franchise groups.
Leading the charge on the Missouri side is Kansas City native Jesse West, a seasoned banking executive with 30+ years of leadership experience and a deep network in the region’s industrial sector. West will operate PIRTEK KCMO, covering key territories including Kansas City, North Kansas City, Belton, Grandview, Lee’s Summit, and Raymore, Missouri.
“PIRTEK gives me the opportunity to serve my community while building something sustainable and impactful,” said West. “I’m excited to bring a business to Kansas City that helps keep essential industries operating and provides real value to customers.”
On the Kansas side, the dynamic family team of Billy Norris, Laycie Norris, and Cody Norris will launch PIRTEK Kansas City, Kansas (KCK) as a Tier 1 location. Backed by more than three decades of combined corporate experience in operations, HR, sales, and finance, the trio will also develop territories in Olathe, Overland Park, and Northland, Kansas.
Together, these two teams represent the future of PIRTEK USA – entrepreneurs with strong roots, diverse expertise, and a shared commitment to excellence.
“Selling out a priority market like Kansas City in under 60 days reflects the momentum of our brand and the strength of our offering,” said John Dobelbower, Vice President of Franchise Development for PIRTEK USA. “These franchisees are a perfect match for the PIRTEK model. They bring experience, vision, and a collaborative spirit to this new market.”
Though they came through different channels, West and the Norris family have embraced the opportunity to launch together. From early planning to pre-opening prep, the two groups have built a collaborative approach that will serve customers across the metro area with unmatched responsiveness and reliability.
Their joint launch highlights the success of PIRTEK’s market-based recruitment strategy, which was made possible through strong franchise brokerage partnerships and a focus on full-market development.
