Engineering solutions and innovation

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do and drives our technologies, software and services. We run our own research and development testing centers in Europe, North America and Asia.

We also work closely with partners in leading universities and engineering research labs around the world – to tackle challenging technical problems that you can face. All this expertise is then incorporated into our products, for faster, safer and more daring builds.

Here are just a few of our innovations:

WHAT ARE OUR INNOVATIONS

• Seismic design
  We’ve carried out extensive seismic research to understand the complexity of how systems behave in earthquakes. We offer anchor fastenings and modular support systems, which are code compliant for use in seismic areas.
  
  
• Improving load capacity
  Our Hilti HIT-HY 200 adhesive anchor and SafeSet technology can virtually eliminate dust while drilling – helping to make load capacity more predictable and prevent failing anchor systems. Use in cracked and uncracked concrete, with anchor rods or post-installed rebar.

• Energy and industry – firestop, anchors and supports
  A wide range of firestop systems for easy installation and many different types of penetrations. Our Hilti Button for Firestop design software automatically selects firestop products and places them directly into your design.
  
  Our anchor fastenings, pipe rings and modular support systems are designed for a wide range of applications and are frequently used in large manufacturing factories and energy plants.
  
  
• HAC cast-in anchor channels innovative V-form
  We’ve redesigned our HAC cast-in anchor channels with an innovative V-form. This allows smoother load distribution around the channel profile and helps to prevent air pockets and concrete voids underneath the channel.
  
  
• Ventilated façades
  Our light ventilated façade solutions are designed to support high loads and for easy installation. For more information, contact your local Hilti team.
  
  
• Flexibility with modular support systems
  Our modular support systems are designed for supporting pipes, cable trays and ducts – for light, medium and heavy-duty applications. They’re designed to be flexible and easy to install.
