Hilti opens two facilities in Texas

Hilti has opened its Western Hemisphere Product Development and Tool Service Center in Irving, Texas. The 65,000-sq.-ft. facility serves two main purposes: Certified technicians perform tool repairs and maintenance, laser calibrations, and battery checks; and engineers, designers, and product specialists develop, test, and provide customer support for fire protection, anchoring, and direct fastening products and applications.

The company also has opened its North American headquarters in Plano, Texas. The firm relocated to be closer to the construction market in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and customers in the construction and civil energy segments.
