Our mission
Construction faces significant challenges, including labour shortages, jobsite safety risks and high carbon emissions. As the industry evolves, digitalisation is enabling more efficient processes and supporting safer, more productive and sustainable construction. With a portfolio ranging from BIM design services to asset‑tracking software and connected power tools, we believe we are best positioned to help customers reduce risks, streamline workflows, minimize downtime and deliver consistent project quality.
Our innovations
In 1957, we developed the world’s first powder-actuated tool and we have not stopped innovating since. We run our own research and development labs and collaborate with leading technical universities worldwide to share research and push boundaries even further. We manufacture our products in our own factories and work with external specialist suppliers. This helps ensure that everything we produce meets the same high-quality standards and matches the needs of modern construction projects.
Our people
Our passionate and inclusive global team is at the core of our success. We bring together people from diverse backgrounds who push each other to grow, collaborate and innovate. Through coaching, feedback and development programs, we enable and empower our team members to think and act with an entrepreneurial spirit, take ownership of projects and enjoy what they do. This helps us to challenge the status quo and deliver meaningful impact for customers and the construction industry.

On our way of working
We are more than a construction supplier: our team members work directly with our customers every day. Our sales representatives and field engineers make onsite visits to help find optimal solutions for projects and to provide training and technical advice. Support is also available at our Hilti stores while our highly trained customer service teams can provide advice online or on the phone.
Our commitment
We are reducing our environmental footprint in line with our SBTi commitment – cutting Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% and Scope 3 by 30% by 2032 (vs. 2022) and targeting net‑zero by 2050. We’re doing this by increasing emissions transparency, applying circular‑design and value‑engineering principles, and shifting to lower‑emission materials, greener mobility and more efficient technologies. Our products, software and services also help customers track, reduce and report emissions, supporting their own sustainability targets.
Our responsibility
Our values of integrity, courage, teamwork and commitment are the basis of everything we do. Together, with the Hilti Foundation, we want to build a better future for disadvantaged social groups by initiating charitable projects that promote sustainable social change. These programs strive to empower people in need to become economically independent and lead self-determined lives.
