Estonia, EU – Baltic States, Good for Business, Markets and Companies, Real Estate

The sale of equipment to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden will be coordinated from the representative office to be established in Laagri. According to Makita's Baltic sales director Imre Rammul, Sweden and Estonia were considered in the location selection competition, but the decision was made in favor of Estonia due to its better logistical location.

"Makita's sales in the region have grown and the current premises have long become too small, which is why we are building one large representative office instead of several centers," Rammul said in a press release.

"In addition to the warehouse, a 1,000-square-meter training and demo area will be built in the new center, where people can test new equipment," Karl Lestsepp, Makita's product manager in the Baltics, said.

The center will be completed in 2022 at the latest.

Founded in 1915 in Japan, tool manufacturer Makita has 10 factories around the world and more than 17,000 employees. The company's revenue in 2019 was 493 billion yen. The revenue of Makita's Baltic branches in 2019 was 45 million euros.
