For the current year, the managers of Hilti Romania estimate that the incomes will stabilize around this number. The company promotes a wide range of products at national level and its offer is based, mainly, on cordless tools types that use Li-ion technology and combi hammers and breakers segments. The group launches annually approximately ten new products designed specifically for construction professionals.

"With this innovative system, it is not necessary any longer to clean the holes. Customers save time and trust," said Philippe Guillouet, CEO of Hilti Romania. Another recently launched product is the direct attachment system on wood with the GX 90 nails implanting device that works with a dose of gas, which facilitates and increases the productivity.

Finally, the company managers have chosen to extend the range of cordless rotaries by launching TE 30-A, which is the most powerful equipment of its kind on the market.
