"In 1980 Hitachi Power Tools U.S.A. was created to market the line of tools in the United States. During the 80s, Hitachi Power Tools U.S.A. built its reputation for quality on the success of its pneumatic framing nailer and sliding compound miter saws. Hitachi Koki U.S.A. continues to forge aggressively into the future developing new technologies that benefit the longevity and performance of the Hitachi power tool line."
