- Hitachi Koki has been purchased from Hitachi Holdings by KKR. Japanese business practice dictates that once a subsidiary has left the holding company the trade name has to change within a period of two years.
- KKR was obviously very aware of this, yet they still purchased Hitachi Koki for in excess of 1.3 Billion US Dollars. This demonstrates their faith in the new Hikoki brand.
- It is exactly the same product from the same factory only the name on the housing has changed. Everything remains exactly the same.
- It has nothing to do with the Hikoki name change but rather a move by Matus a Division of Brandcorp (PTY) LTD to adopt a Fair Pricing Strategy. This means that your discount is based on the volumes you buy. The Hitachi list price is going to be reduced to be more market-related.
- Any Hitachi product you sell is still covered by the 12-month warranty from the time you sold it. Matus a Division of Brandcorp (PTY) LTD will still honour all Hitachi warranties.
- Remember it’s only the name that has changed not the machines, product and spares remain the same.
