Makita was founded in 1915 when Masaburo Makita established a company to manufacture electric motors and generators. Today, more than 50 years later, Makita is one of the world's leading manufacturers of professional hand tools, with ten manufacturing plants around the world. With its mergers with Sachs-Dolmar, Fuji Robin and Kanematsu, Makita has significantly expanded its product range to offer nearly 400 types of professional power, cordless and air tools.
