MAKITA TO CEASE PRODUCTION OF ENGINE PRODUCTS
From March 31 2022

The Makita Corporation announced on October 30 2020 their intention to cease production of petrol powered, engine products from March 31 2022.

 

 

In an official statement the company said, "In the field of outdoor power equipment, Makita is dedicated to supplying a broad range of engine products such as brushcutters and chainsaws. However, in response to the heightened awareness of global environmental issues and increasing needs for highly convenient, cordless products, Makita has recently been enhancing development, production, and sales of cordless products that are environment-friendly and will gain popularity.


"Makita now plans to focus management resources on development, production, and sales of cordless products while leveraging its motor, and battery charging/discharging technologies, and accelerate the departure from engine products and the application of cordless solutions to power tools and outdoor power equipment.

 

"Accordingly, Makita will discontinue the production of engine products at the entire group level."
