Overview of Makita brand lawn mowers

We begin our review of Makita brand lawn mowers with information about the manufacturer, the Japanese company Makita, founded in 1915 by Masaburo Makita. The main activity of the company at that time was repair work on the restoration of electric motors and transformers. Since 1935, “Makita” has conquered the European market, and has also adjusted the supply of its products to the USSR.

In 1958, Makita changed its profile and began producing hand-held power tools. 1962 was a significant year for Makita Electric Works. The new Makita brand was introduced to the world community. In 1970, Makita representative offices and factories were founded in various countries of the world, and in 1991 the company acquired a new status and became a corporation.

Today the brand boasts the presence of more than 350 different types of power tools, as well as more than 4,500 items of accessories necessary for them.
