Makita Corporation (株式会社マキタ, kabushiki gaisha Makita) (TYO: 6586) is a Japanese manufacturer of power tools. Founded on March 21, 1915, it is based in Anjō, Japan and operates factories in Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico, Romania, the United Kingdom, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Canada, and the United States.

Lowe's doesn't carry Makita tools. But then again, Makita isn't sold everywhere. While it may seem counterproductive to eliminate the brand from a major retailer, it's far from a new concept.

Makita Corporation was founded in 1915 as an electric motor sales and repair company. Today, as a global brand in over 40 countries, Makita is an innovation leader, manufacturing best-in-class products at 10 plants operating in 8 countries.

Whatever way you look like it, no RAL or PMS worldwide color scheme describes any Makita hue as a shade of green – it's *always* been a shade of blue, no matter how much or how little yellow was added to the blue to make it less green or more green.
