Schaan (FL) / Vienna (AT): February 8, 2018 – The Hilti Group has acquired the Austrian “bst Brandschutztechnik Döpfl GmbH” as well as its sales organization in Germany effective January 31, 2018. With this, Hilti expands its offering of fire protection system solutions for the energy and industry sectors.
