Metabo power tool case

Metabo is a reputable German brand originally founded in Nürtingen, Germany, in 1924 by Albrecht Schnizler. The brand name is derived from 'Metallbohrdreher,' reflecting its origins in precision metal drilling. Over the decades, Metabo established itself as a leader in high-performance power tools for professional users, particularly focusing on durability and technical excellence.

Today, Metabo is a global entity with manufacturing operations spanning multiple locations, including its primary facility in Nürtingen, Germany, and additional production sites in China and other regions to serve the international market. In 2016, the brand reached a significant milestone when it was acquired by the Japanese investment firm KKR, which later sold it to the global tool industry giant, Koki Holdings Co., Ltd. (formerly Hitachi Koki). This ownership solidifies Metabo's position within a powerful international network of power tool manufacturers while maintaining its distinct German engineering identity.
