Since Makita’s founding in 1915, the Company has been devoted to providing products and services desired by its customers while upholding a hands-on approach to management. This tradition has remained unchanged all through the past 108 years. Looking back at the history of Makita, I understand that the Company could not have expanded its business to the present level without the support and cooperation from its customers, business partners, and other stakeholders around the world.
Currently, Makita is focusing on making its products cordless/engine-less by utilizing its proprietary recharge-control and motor technologies, and is working to evolve into a supplier of a comprehensive range of cordless products, including not only power tools but also outdoor power equipment (OPE), cleaning equipment, and outdoor products.
Our strength lies in our worldwide sales and service network, and we have established a system to ensure prompt and stable distribution and repair services.
We will continuously work to solve social issues, including environmental problems and labor shortages, and contribute to the improvement of our customers' work environment and work efficiency, as well as the realization of a sustainable, decarbonized society.
We will continue to take on a variety of new challenges so that we will be able to sustain our business under any kind of business environment. We aim to realize our long-term goal of becoming a "Strong Company" based on our core principles of “Makita strives to exist in harmony with society,” “Makita values its customers,” “Makita is managed in a consistent and proactive manner” and “Valuing a stalwart corporate culture, Makita encourages each individual to perform to his or her highest level.”
