2019 Hilti Company Report “ THIS IS PRODUCT DIFFERENTIATION THAT WE CAN REALLY USE.” Ronald Klein-Holte, Head of Development VBI, The Netherlands When lifting as much as two tons of concrete through the air, safety is the highest priority. VBI, a provider of prefabricated components for building construction in the Netherlands, sought a faster and simpler solution for transporting heavy concrete slabs for customers. Oftentimes, when constructing prefabricated houses, it’s only a matter of 24 hours before everything is erected, from the foundation to the roof. This task was perfectly suited for Hilti’s team of experts, as there was no standard solution available. The team quickly devel- oped a custom-designed anchor solution tailored to meet the customer’s needs, which can be included directly in the manufacturing process. The colleagues looked on while the solution was demonstrated on-site, as shown in this image taken just before it was put into use for the 昀椀 rst time.
