Hitachi Koki released a press announcement in November last year that the brand name will change to “HiKOKI” officially on power tools from 1st October 2018 in line with the company’s ambitious international growth strategy.
The brand Hitachi Koki Co. Ltd. a well-known manufacturer of power tools and life-science equipment, will change its corporate name to Koki Holdings Co. Ltd. and will re-brand its full line of power tools known as HITACHI and/or Hitachi Koki under the new name HiKOKI (pronounced “hai-koh-key”). This strategy is aimed at ensuring sustainable growth while expanding business in the nearly 100 countries in Hitachi Koki’s global network.
"We have fully committed to accelerate growth alongside a dynamic new partner in KKR as we pursue our goal to become a global leader in power tools and life-science instruments. We are confident we can take our business to the next level with the support of all our employees and partners worldwide, and the revamping of the brand name is the first step to making this possible. We look forward to continuing to build a brand that exceeds the expectations of discerning customers around the world."
Osami Maehara, President of Hitachi Koki
