In November 2025, KOKI announced a phased North American transition from the Metabo name to Metabo HPT. [1] [2]

Is Metabo made in China or the USA?

German manufacturing is confirmed for the cited site and sander. That evidence does not establish an all-Germany, all-China or all-USA origin for the entire Metabo or Metabo HPT catalog. [2] [4]

Same factory, different label

Metabo and Metabo HPT share KOKI ownership, and the 2025 announcement planned a North American name transition. Neither fact proves identical tools, common assembly lines or universal battery interchangeability. [1] [3]

Where was your power tool made?

  1. Find the model and serial number on the tool’s rating plate.
  2. Read the country-of-origin line on the tool or original packaging.
  3. Match the exact model and production date to the cited record.

Questions people ask

Who makes metabo tools?

Metabowerke GmbH has a certified power-tool manufacturing operation in Nürtingen. A full list of current contract manufacturers and factory assignments for every model is Unconfirmed. Metabo’s March 2023 product release identifies its SXA 18 LTX 150 BL sander as made in Germany. [2] [4]

Who owns metabo tools?

Koki Holdings is the parent group identified in the company announcements. Metabo, HiKOKI and Metabo HPT belong to that group; the North American branding transition is a separate issue from factory ownership. [1] [3]

Where is metabo made?

Nürtingen, Germany, is a documented manufacturing site. The 2023 sander release specifically says the SXA 18 LTX 150 BL is made in Germany, while the Georgia operations announcement describes headquarters, service and distribution rather than tool assembly. [2] [3] [4]
