Hilti Inc., a supplier of specialized tools and fastening systems for professional users, has been recognized by Fortune and Great Place to Work as one of this year’s 100 Best Workplaces for Millennials in the United States.

Millennials is generally defined as an adult born between 1980 and 2000. The ranking comes from an anonymous survey of nearly 90,000 millennial employees administered by workplace culture experts at Great Place to Work.

“We strive to be an employer of choice and continuously invest in the development of our team members,” said Cary Evert, Hilti North America President and CEO. “This ranking offers evidence that we are creating an environment where people want to come to work every day.”

The Top 100 companies were selected based on the evaluations of nearly 90,000 millennial-aged employees who were surveyed using the “Trust Index,” Great Place to Work’s employee assessment survey.

Earlier this year, Hilti was recognized as one of the Best Workplaces on the 2015 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For list.

Hilti is based in Plano, Texas. The company makes saws, breakers, lasers and a wide variety of equipment popular in the rental industry.
