Makita LXT Cordless Multi Tool

Makita is one of the world's leading manufacturers of professional power tools, recognized globally for its signature teal-colored equipment. The brand's history dates back to 1915 when it was founded in Nagoya, Japan, as a motor repair and sales company. Over the decades, it transformed into a powerhouse in the construction industry, pioneering the development of cordless technology with the introduction of its first nickel-cadmium battery tool in 1978.

Today, Makita products are manufactured in a highly efficient network of global facilities. While the engineering and design concepts originate in Japan, the physical assembly takes place in multiple locations including Japan, China, Romania, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and the United States, depending on the specific model and target market.

Unlike many other major power tool brands that have been acquired by large conglomerates, Makita Corporation remains an independent company. It is headquartered in Anjo, Japan, and maintains full control over its brand identity and manufacturing standards. This independence allows them to focus exclusively on tool performance and global distribution through local subsidiaries.
