Metabo power tools

Metabo is a world-renowned brand specializing in professional-grade power tools and accessories. Founded in the 1920s in Germany, the brand name is derived from 'Metallbohrdreher' (metal drill), reflecting its historical focus on high-quality metalworking tools. Today, it is a leading choice for professionals in the construction, renovation, and metal industries.

While Metabo maintains deep roots in Nürtingen, Germany, where it continues to manufacture a significant portion of its premium range, the brand expanded its manufacturing footprint globally to remain competitive. Many of its battery packs and specific tool lines are assembled in advanced facilities across China and other international locations, ensuring a balance between German engineering standards and global production efficiency.

In terms of ownership, Metabo was acquired by Japan-based Hitachi Koki Co., Ltd. in 2016. Following a divestment to the investment firm KKR, Hitachi Koki was rebranded as Koki Holdings Co., Ltd. Currently, Metabo operates as a key subsidiary of Koki Holdings, which is headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. This partnership has allowed Metabo to integrate advanced Japanese technology into its traditional European design philosophy.
