The story of Makita began in 1915 in Nagoya, Japan, when Mosaburo Makita established Makita Electric Works. Initially, the company focused on selling and repairing electric motors, but it wasn’t long before Makita set its sights on manufacturing high-quality power tools.
In 1958, Makita introduced its first power tool, a portable electric planer, marking the start of its journey into the industry. Over the decades, Makita expanded its product line, incorporating drills, saws, grinders, and an extensive range of cordless tools. The brand’s innovation led to the introduction of the first nickel-cadmium battery-operated drill in 1978, setting the foundation for today’s lithium-ion technology that powers our cordless tools.
Makita’s global expansion began in the 1970s, establishing subsidiaries and manufacturing plants in the United States, Europe, and beyond. This growth allowed the company to better serve customers worldwide, offering high-performance tools tailored to different market needs.
Today, Makita remains a pioneer in the industry, continuously investing in research and development to produce tools that enhance efficiency, durability, and user experience. Our history is built on a foundation of craftsmanship, engineering excellence, and a relentless pursuit of innovation.
