PLANO, Texas , Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Hilti North America, a global leader providing innovative tools, technology, software, and services to the commercial construction industry, is debuting a fresh brand campaign that honors the grit and know-how of unsung heroes who take on the most challenging of jobs, day in and day out.

Built on direct experience from working with construction professionals, Hilti’s “Pros Know” campaign digs into what really matters to jobsite workers.

Hilti aims to generate excitement and pride in being part of an industry that shapes the world. The creative approach is based on an understanding and admiration of the construction industry, that experts recognize the pros, and pros see the best in the field. The message spotlights the bonds that are central to the industry and shows why Hilti is a trusted partner that provides certainty in even the most uncertain of conditions—so that contractors can focus on mastering the build.

The “Pros Know” campaign also emphasizes Hilti’s unique boots-on-the-ground approach. The company’s direct sales model enables its team members to work closely with customers. That real-world insight drives Hilti’s innovation and helps the company connect with pros on the jobsite—as a productivity partner who understands the demands and pace of the job. Hilti is committed to making jobsites run more smoothly, safely, and productively, backed by the reliability of its 20-year limited warranty, 2-year wear & tear coverage, and 1-day turnaround on tool repairs.
