HITACHI KOKI COMPANY LTD.

Since 1948 Hitachi Koki Company Ltd. has been an independent member of the broadly diverse Hitachi group. Hitachi Koki's relationship with its parent company can bring important benefits to its customers. These benefits include immediate access to the latest advancements in metallurgy, motor design and electronics - often long before these technologies appear in other manufacturers' product. An example of this would be the ultra-high speed motor developed by Hitachi for use in medical centrifuges. Hitachi Koki uses the same armature balancing technology in developing electric motors for its line of power tools.

Hitachi Koki manufactures more than 800 models of electric power tools, focusing on compact/high out-put motor technology. The company has obtained recognition under the ISO 9000 series international standards for quality assurance. Hitachi Koki also received ISO 14001 certification for environmentally sound management.

In 1980 Hitachi Power Tools U.S.A. was created.
