Makita's dedication to the idea of uncompromising quality was born some eighty years ago. Since then, Makita has become a leading designer and producer of a broad range of portable electric power tools, including saws, planers, drills, hammers, grinders, sanders, as well as pneumatic tools and outdoor power equipment.

By following the same uncompromising standards and principles since establishing their U.S. operation in 1970, Makita's sales have grown steadily upwards in the U.S. And backing up that quality has been a determined dedication to service and delivery

On September 20, 1984, Makita Corporation of America broke ground in a 75 acre tract of land along Route 23 in Buford, Georgia.

Now, in a 430,000 square foot facility, approximately 1000 American workers combine traditional American know-how with 80 years of Makita research and development to produce 65 models of Makita tools. The facility has built over 20 million tools and represents a plant investment of more than $100 million.

Our Buford plant boasts some of the most advanced manufacturing technologies in the world. Each Makita tool is built with the finest materials and then subjected to the strictest quality testing. This includes a test run under power, before leaving the factory.

It is this unmatched quality control, plus Makita's dedicated service, that is responsible for the rapid growth in sales and acceptance of Makita products in the U.S.A.
