Makita Cordless Screwdriver

Makita is a premier global brand in the power tool industry, recognized for its high-performance cordless screwdrivers and professional-grade machinery. Founded in 1915 in Nagoya, Japan, as a motor repair company, it pivoted to power tool manufacturing in 1958. Today, Makita maintains a vast international manufacturing footprint with 10 production facilities across 8 countries, including Japan, China, Romania, Thailand, the United Kingdom, Brazil, the United States, and Germany.

While the company's research and development remain centered at its headquarters in Anjo, Japan, approximately 90% of its products are manufactured outside of Japan. The Jiangsu Mother Plant in China is currently its largest production hub, handling roughly 60% of global output. Despite its global scale, Makita remains an independent, publicly traded company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, setting it apart from many competitors that have been absorbed into larger multi-brand conglomerates.
