PIRTEK's New Owner of Palo Verde to Focus on Tucson's Heavy Hydraulics Users

Ron Trombetti, the new owner of PIRTEK Palo Verde in Tucson, Ariz., said he plans to make good use of his sales background as he pursues business among the area's primary hydraulics users: rental companies, airports, military, and mines. Trombetti acquired the PIRTEK Service & Supply Center in March.

"We will be focusing on the big opportunities in the area," said Trombetti, who recently moved to Tucson from Macomb County, Mich., near Detroit. His newly acquired center, PIRTEK Palo Verde, is at 3455 S. Palo Verde Road, Suite 117, Tucson 85713.

Heading the list of Tucson's preeminent industries are aerospace and defense. The city and surrounding region are also renowned for their copper mining, as Arizona ranks as one of that metal's premier producers in the United States. Many companies in these industries operate an abundance of hydraulic machinery, making them ideal PIRTEK customers. 

Before acquiring PIRTEK Palo Verde, Trombetti worked extensively in the Michigan real estate market. He also did outside sales for a time in the automotive plastics industry, where he became aware of the PIRTEK brand.

"I looked into it and was impressed with the support the company made available to its franchises," he said. "PIRTEK has a proven process that has been working. With PIRTEK, I knew I wouldn't have to just rely on myself."

PIRTEK USA team members are available 24/7 to provide on-site repairs to hydraulic and industrial hoses with a 1-hour ETA, thanks to the company's specially equipped Mobile Service Vehicles. PIRTEK boasts more than 400 franchise locations in 23 countries around the world, including 84 in the United States. Trombetti added that PIRTEK's business-to-business aspect was one of many draws for him. "I just really wanted to get into the industrial focus," he said. "That helped to make PIRTEK an attractive option."
