who owns what tool brands
TLDR: out of all of these the only real european companies are:
And makita from Japan and one of the only independent manufacturers left, as well as Fein and Hilti.
Einhell (also own Ozito) is also on its own, headquartered in Germany. Mostly made in China. But they are moving battery production to Hungary. Also planning to build tools in other Asian countries to be less dependent on China.
Metabo and Hikoki are also a company. Don't know if its based in Japan.
