50 Years of Building Qatar Together
Qatar’s skyline tells a story — one of ambition, resilience, and visionary growth.
And for 50 years, Hilti has been proud to be part of that story. Since 1975, we’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with Qatar’s builders, engineers, and visionaries to shape one of the most remarkable transformations in the world.
Hilti’s journey began in Europe — a continent known for its precision, innovation, and engineering excellence. 50 years ago, we brought that spirit to Qatar — a young nation with bold ambition and limitless potential.
Together, we built more than just skylines — we built a shared legacy. In a land defined by vision and resilience, Hilti has stood side by side with Qatar’s builders, helping shape a future grounded in progress, people, and purpose.

A Message from our General Manager
Over the past 50 years, Hilti has played a pivotal role in shaping Qatar's construction landscape. Our products and services have been integral to the development of many of the projects that define Qatar today and became symbols of the country’s prosperity.
And if we helped to build up this Country in the first 50 years of our presence, in the next 50, we aim even higher:
- With our Customers, we want to deliver on our Promise: to be the Best Partner for Productivity, Safety and Sustainability, enabled by digitalization. We want our Customers to benefit from Better Applications, Better Projects, Better Processes and Better Experiences.
- With Governmental entities, we want not only to be their long-term Technology Partner but also their Knowledge Partner of choice for the development of this Country's labor force and the integration of new engineers into the Construction Market, helping to achieve the Growth and Productivity Targets set by the Government in the Qatar National Vision 2030, paving the way for a prosper, knowledge-based society that honors its rich heritage while embracing modern dynamism and innovation.
- With Society, beyond being good citizens, we want to give back! We want to give back to a Country that gave us so much. We are engaging on a long-term relationship with some local stakeholders to help in the integration of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), prevalent in 1 out of 87 people in Qatar.
We are very proud of our past and we build on our heritage and track-record to help transforming the future of the Construction Industry in Qatar.
The Hilti Qatar Team is fully-committed to build up that future together and has a tireless determination to, everyday, materialize Our Purpose: Making Construction Better
