Hilti last week announced that eight products received the Good Design Award presented by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design together with The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.

Founded in Chicago, Good Design bestows international recognition upon the world’s most prominent designers and manufacturers for advancing new, visionary and innovative product concepts, inventions and originality, and for stretching the envelope beyond what is considered ordinary product and consumer design.

“We are proud of this achievement, especially since this was the first time we submitted products to Good Design” said Stephan Niehaus, corporate chief designer based in Schaan, Liechtenstein. “We continually invest in research and development in order to provide our customers with the most innovative and enthusing products in the industry.”
