The PIRTEK System began in 1980 in Australia. Coming on the heels of success in Australia, in 1989 the PIRTEK System was established in the United Kingdom where it became a leader in the franchise world and was named Franchise of the Year. In 2000, the PIRTEK System was given a prestigious honor and was named the International Franchise of the Year. With PIRTEK firmly established as a world leader in franchising, in 1996 the PIRTEK System then crossed the ocean and came to the United States. PIRTEK has redefined the business format to allow their locations to keep growing when other franchise concepts mature.
