Hilti announces relocation of North America Corporate Headquarters, Tulsabased Test Lab and Repair Service and Distribution Centers to Dallas-Fort
Worth metroplex
Tulsa, Okla. – Oct. 14, 2014 — Hilti North America announced today it will relocate its Tulsa-based
North America Corporate Headquarters, Test Lab, and Repair Service and Distribution Centers to the DallasFort Worth metroplex. The current Tulsa facility will transition to the organization’s Operations Center in June
2015 when the move is complete.
As the fourth largest Metropolitan Statistical Area in the United States, relocating to the Metroplex
places the company closer to a broader base of customers in the company’s core construction and civil and
energy segments. The company also cited the benefit of having access to a larger pool of readily available
talent and the ability to provide greater logistic and repair service coverage to customers. The 250 team
members whose positions are slated to be moved will be offered relocation packages.
“Moving the Corporate Headquarters to the Dallas Metroplex puts us in the middle of a top five
construction market and gives us greater access to a much larger talent pool as we expand our business over
the next decade,” said Cary Evert, Hilti North America President and CEO. “What makes Hilti unique in our
industry is our direct contact with customers and the ability to provide immediate access to outstanding
products, services and software. With $26 billion in construction in Dallas, relocating our test lab, and repair
service and distribution operations within the Metroplex strengthens our ability to enhance our coverage in this
marketplace and throughout Texas,” said Evert.
The current Tulsa location will remain in place with 425 team members working from the company’s
North America Operations Center. Team members supporting Hilti customers and the direct sales force
