HiKOKI Power Tools

HiKOKI is a premiere brand of power tools and equipment with a rich history rooted in Japanese engineering. Originally known as Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd., the brand was a division of the Japanese industrial giant Hitachi. In 2017, the company transitioned from being a subsidiary of Hitachi to being owned by the global private equity firm KKR, which led to the 2018 rebranding of 'Hitachi Koki' to 'HiKOKI'—a name that honors its heritage by combining 'Hitachi' with the Japanese word for industrial machinery, 'Koki'.

The brand is renowned for introducing high-performance innovations such as the Multi Volt battery technology, which allows for seamless switching between 18V and 36V tools. Manufacturing is geographically diverse to meet global demand, with major production facilities located in Japan, China, Malaysia, and Germany. This ensures that the professional-grade tools reach global markets efficiently while maintaining the rigorous quality standards established during its decades as part of the Hitachi family.

Today, HiKOKI is the flagship brand of Koki Holdings Co., Ltd., which continues to manage its international operations from its administrative headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. Under the ownership of KKR, the brand has expanded its focus on high-durability cordless tools and continues to be a major competitor in the professional construction and industrial sectors worldwide.
