About Hilti

Hilti Group was founded in 1941, evolving from a small family start-up to a trusted global business. Today, Hilti is still family-owned, with its global headquarters in the Principality of Liechtenstein, where Martin Hilti established the company more than 75 years ago.

At Hilti we design and manufacture leading-edge technology, software and services, which power the professional construction industry. We’re global, based in over 120 countries with more than 30,000 employees around the world who contribute to making construction work simpler, faster and safer while inspiring customers every single day with technologically leading products, systems, software and services. Many ideas for improvements are developed directly on construction sites while talking to customers.

If there is an on-site challenge for which no Hilti solution exists, one will be developed. This is why the company invests approximately 6 percent of sales each year in research and development.
