Swiss Excellence With A Singaporean Touch
Singapore Business Review|August - September 2018

Hilti Singapore is set to bringing state-of-the-art digital solutions as an answer to local construction sectors woes. VP Bank caters to its clients individualised needs with top-notch advisory services.

Swiss Excellence With A Singaporean Touch

When Hilti first opened its doors in Singapore 50 years ago, no one could have predicted that the city-state would play a crucial role in the company’s global growth story. Hilti Singapore has grown from its humble beginnings to become a true leader in the domestic construction sector, driving innovation through cutting-edge products and services.

“As part of the global company, Hilti in Singapore is very strongly connected and supported by strong global team and lead markets, such as Switzerland,” said Gavin Gui, general manager of Hilti Singapore. “We trace our roots to Schaan, Liechtenstein, where Hilti was founded in 1941 and where we have our global headquarters and Innovation Centre. Globally, we run a direct sales business model across 140 countries.”

Groundbreaking technologies

Hilti’s products and services are proof of its commitment to improving construction productivity and safety. In the past few years, together with its customers in Singapore, the company has been actively exploring faster and safer ways of doing construction projects.

“All construction companies face double challenges of increasing labour costs and lower bidding price. Therefore, they badly demand for savings in operations. Such challenges lead to great opportunities for improvement in productivity and safety, which perfectly fit into what Hilti can offer,” explained Gavin. “This is why most of our premium drilling machines come with safety features to help prevent job site injuries. Also, our cordless power tools and dustless solution have in recent years become a health, safety, and environment (HSE) recommendation in many key projects in Singapore,” he added.
