Today, with its more than 40 subsidiaries located across the world, Makita is a global brand and an innovative pioneer, manufacturing high-quality products in its 10 factories in various parts of the world.
The excellent quality and durability of Makita’s products are rooted in the company’s strong product development centred on generating new innovations and technologies. This has made Makita a go-to machine supplier for professionals working in challenging circumstances.
