Its dedication to excellence ensures that each tool is engineered with precision, using only top-tier materials to enhance functionality and durability. As a result, professionals who require reliable and efficient tools consistently turn to Makita for solutions that deliver superior performance.

History of Makita Power Tools

Makita’s origins trace back to 1915 in Nagoya City, Japan. Initially a repair service for electric motors and transformers, the company was a vital part of the industrial growth during that era, contributing to advancements in electrical engineering and technology. However, it was the visionary shift towards power tool manufacturing that marked a pivotal chapter in its history.


In 1958, Makita introduced its first major power tool, a hand-operated electric planer. This launch not only diversified its product range but also set the foundation for its future as a specialized Makita Power Tools manufacturer. This was a significant innovation at the time, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency to woodworking professionals, which quickly set the standard for the industry.


As Makita continued to expand its expertise and product offerings, the company became synonymous with pioneering developments in the Makita Power Tools sector. A landmark moment came in 2005 with the introduction of the LXT technology—a revolutionary range of tools equipped with Lithium-Ion battery technology. This advancement redefined the cordless tool market, providing tools that were lighter, had longer run times, and could charge more quickly than ever before. The LXT line was a game-changer for Makita Power Tools , enabling professionals to work more effectively, with less downtime and greater battery interoperability across a broad array of tools.


This foresight and commitment to innovation have maintained Makita’s status as a leader in the Makita Power Tools industry, setting benchmarks that push the envelope of what professional tools can achieve. Today, Makita’s tools are equipped with advanced features such as AVT (Anti-Vibration Technology) and XPT (Extreme Protection Technology), which further enhance their performance and safety in demanding work environments.
