Hillos

A Group Company of Hilti, based in Jena (Germany), manufacturing laser measuring devices and positioning equipment.

ABOUT US

Hillos GmbH was established in 2003 as a development and manufacturing partnership between Jenoptik and Hilti, developing laser measuring devices and positioning equipment for the construction industry. In 2023, Hilti acquired full ownership of Hillos through an agreement with Jenoptik. This acquisition allows us to serve as a competence center for highly innovative measuring tools. 

Our existing plant and Global Competence Center employs over 100 team members in Jena, Thuringia (Germany). Highly trained in production engineering and equipment manufacturing, these dedicated professionals assemble, test, and calibrate some of the most precise and easy-to-use tools, which are used on jobsites around the world. We have a strong commitment to quality and are ISO 9001 certificated.

Hillos will remain in Jena but will relocate to a new state-of-the-art facility in 2025. 

NEW LOCATION

In 2025, Hillos plans to relocate to a new, sustainable commercial center on the site of a former slaughterhouse in Jena.

The new three-story building, situated on a 10,000 square-meter plot, will feature office space, production facilities, logistics areas, a clean room, testing facilities and a cafeteria.

The building will be powered by solar energy and heat pumps, reflecting a strong commitment to sustainable manufacturing practices.

OUR CORE COMPETENCE

Robotic total stations

Make quicker, more precise layouts a one-person job.

Designed for point-marking and construction layout, both outdoors and indoors, as well as on floors, walls or ceilings.

Using traditional methods, two experienced workers can layout up to 150 points per day. With the PLT 400, this number can jump up to 500 points with just one worker.

Thanks to self-levelling and auto stationing features, even inexperienced workers can lay out 2D and 3D positions quicker, sending more accurate data to the tablet and helping you prevent costly mistakes.
