Ever since 1948, we've been designing and developing high performance power tools. Guided by Japanese design principles, every element of our products is chosen to improve performance, balance, usability, longevity and control to ensure professionals are finishing every single job as easily as possible. We have committed to accelerate growth alongside a dynamic new partner as we pursue our goal to become a global leader in power tools. As part of this new chapter, our former brand, “HITACHI,” is now a new brand known as “HiKOKI." Our company’s success rests upon three core pillars: highly innovative technology, high reliability, and strong business growth. The first pillar - highly innovative technology - is the foundation in everything we create and deliver for our customers. Our industry-leading technological prowess has been cultivated over the decades and continues today. We currently hold over 2,500 patented technologies, many of which have earned prestigious awards around the world. That’s why the “Hi” in the “HiKOKI” brand name refers to our “highly innovative technologies.” High reliability is the second pillar. For 70 years, we have delivered products which consistently meet the needs of our customers at the point of purchase and over time. We have achieved this by providing globally recognized “Japanese-quality” as well as earnest service, all in pursuit of customer satisfaction and convenience. The third pillar supporting our company is strong business growth. We have gained a robust partner in KKR, one of the world’s preeminent private equity firms, which has enabled us to become more aggressive than ever – not only in Japan, but also in the global market. Age-old Japanese wisdom has it that to accomplish something important, we must apply heart, technique and physical ability. We engage these essential elements in our pursuit of reliability, technological advancement and growth in building a global organization and developing our businesses.
