Makita manufactures its tools in plants across the globe, from its headquarters in Japan to here, in the UK. Their Telford manufacturing plant is the only full-production facility for power tools in the UK and has been successfully running construction on many of their top line cordless power tools since 1991.

Makita’s investment in the Telford plant has seen it take over production for the highly important MXT Combi Drill, one of the company’s best selling products.

Makita’s acquisition of Dolmar in 1991 has also meant that they have one of the strongest histories in the Outdoor Power Equipment market and the plant in Germany constantly delivers tools worldwide to the highest quality.

At the heart of our manufacturing process is the belief that for a good tool you need a good motor, and Makita makes every effort to make sure their motors are of the best quality. Makita  source the absolute best raw materials and components in order to build the most powerful and efficient motors they can imagine.

Premium grade steel is used to produce armature shafts and gears, and only steel of the highest grade is used, whilst high grade magnetic copper wire goes into each and every one of their tools to ensure superior current flow whilst withstanding extreme temperatures.

Their quality control tests each, and every, machine that leaves their manufacturing plants. Nothing is left untested; on the motor alone they perform 19 extensive tests!

Makita high standards go a long way, which is probably why when you buy Makita, it’s likely to be a lasting relationship.
