Makita Cordless Trim Router

Makita is a globally recognized leader in the power tool industry, renowned for its innovation and durability in woodworking and construction equipment. The brand originated in Anjo, Japan, where it was established as an electric motor sales and repair company before pivoting to become the first manufacturer of electric planers in Japan.

Today, Makita maintains a vast global footprint with manufacturing facilities located in Japan, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, Romania, and Thailand. This diversified production strategy allows them to meet the demands of different regional markets while maintaining high quality standards. The cordless trim router seen here is one of their popular 18V LXT lithium-ion battery-powered tools, which have set a high bar for portability and performance in professional workshops.

The brand is owned by the Makita Corporation, which remains an independent Japanese entity headquartered in Anjo, Aichi Prefecture. Unlike many competitive brands that have been absorbed by massive conglomerates, Makita has retained its core identity and ownership, continuing to operate through various global subsidiaries, such as Makita (Australia) Pty. Ltd., to manage local distribution and servicing.
