As a global leader in the professional power tool industry, HiKOKI Power Tools, headquartered in Japan (formerly Hitachi Koki), has been at the forefront of product innovation and design since 1948. 2018 marks the company’s 70th anniversary. Hitachi Koki opened up a new chapter in October 2018 when the brand name Hitachi became HiKOKI. Pronounced “hai-koh-key,” HiKOKI is derived from the English word “high” and the Japanese term “koki,” meaning “industrial machines.” Following the headquarters’ changing of the brand name, the sales company located in Barcelona, Spain was renamed HiKOKI Power Tools Iberica.
