Makita Announces New Nevada Facility

Makita USA Inc. recently opened a US$50 facility in Reno, Nevada.

The state-of-the-art facility expands Makita’s distribution, training, and service capabilities and includes 600,000 square feet of warehouse space. Set on 50 acres, the Reno property also includes a detached 28,000-square-foot training center. Makita will also open a new factory service center within the facility later this year.

“Makita is focused on leading innovation and engineering, as well as training and after-sales service,” said Joe Blackwell, Makita vice president of operations. “These are cornerstones that go back to the earliest days of the company, and the addition of the new Reno facility is focused on fulfilling these promises. Makita is looking forward and we are committed to serving our valued customers.”
