In 1958, MAX started to sell the first-hand tacker to be manufactured in Japan.
After that, because of the establishment of pneumatic technology, we developed and started to sell Japan's first pneumatic nailer in 1962. Since then, as the pioneer of Japanese nailers, we have improved our pneumatic nailers and air compressors.
Also, in 1993, we started to sell the world's first battery-operated rebar tying tool.
Reflecting needs from our customer in our products, we have been contributing to the improvement of the working efficiency of customers and the mitigation of the physical load on them.
Industrial Equipment Business
Fastening devices for applications such as "nailing," "tightening" and "tying" deliver effective results in various professional scenes.
MAX is a pioneer of pneumatic nailers in Japan.
High-pressure nailers developed by MAX, leader of technological innovation for nailers.
These nailers forcefully drive nails through concrete and steel plates as well as wood base. MAX always continues innovating its technologies.
A new generation of nailer: the “PowerLite series.”
Powering the nailer is an “air compressor,” the result of the pursuit of customer convenience.
“Turbo Driver A(Ace)” is a screw driving machine for which we pursued work efficiency when using it in general board installation.
A fastener for construction designed with tool properties in mind.
A battery-operated tool with emphasis placed on uniqueness.
Unique products that respond to customers’ needs with innovative technologies.
Nailers are required to fulfill all the needs of professionals, such as fast nailing speed, high durability, compactness, powerful and lightness to be a fit for on-site work.
As the pioneering manufacturer of made-in-Japan nailers, MAX was the first in the world to develop a high-pressure pneumatic nailer (which uses an air pressure of 320psi/23bar). This nailer achieves compactness and lightness as well as high performance, and achieving fastening applications that cannot be done by traditional nailers with normal air pressure (100psi/8bar).
Therefore, the MAX’s high-pressure nailer is highly valued by our customers.
MAX offers unique labor-saving, efficiency-improving tools such as rebar tying tools, which are widely used at concrete construction sites.
Based on detailed research regarding work on concrete construction sites, MAX has been developing and providing functionally differentiated unique tools and their consumables by seeing things from the standpoint of our customers. MAX's concrete tools are highly received by customers.
A pioneer in battery-operated rebar tying tools.
We lead the market through consistently listening to feedback from jobsites and making repeated improvements.
Rebar tying work, which is primarily carried out manually, requires proficient skill. With that in mind, we began marketing a “battery-operated rebar tying tool,” which allows anybody to conduct the same level of work easily, in 1993 for the first time in the world.
Since then, we have improved it by listening to our customers who actually use them, and in 2017, we started to sell the “TWINTIER.” Having been recognized both within and outside Japan, this product rapidly took hold to significantly transform rebar tying jobsites. Since then, we have released a “Large Jaw Model” and “Extra Large Jaw Model” capable of tying thicker rebars, an “IoT Model” that can visualize movement and positioning data of the rebar tying tool in real time and a“Stand Up Model” that mitigates the physical burden on workers by enabling binding without bending the back. By increasing the amount of work that can be mechanized, we contribute to the improvement of work efficiency.
High-powered plus lightweight.
Cordless gas-powered pin-driving tool "Gas Nailer."
In 2004, MAX started to sell Japan's first gas nailer (gas-powered pin fastening tool). Because it is cordless, it can be handled easily, and realizes high driving power.
This tool is widely used for various purposes, including for interior finishing, equipment installation, housing foundations, and rebar construction work.
MAX's products are used in jobsites around the globe.
Our overseas industrial equipment business mostly focuses on the European and North American market.
At construction sites or pre-cast factories, existing manual rebar tying work has increasingly been replaced by usage of the rebar tying tool "TWINTIER".
Sales in North America
We established MAX USA CORP., a sales company in New York, in 1993.
We currently operate business sites in Texas, California and North Carolina, where we are working to improve user satisfaction in ways that include further enhancing our service system. Like Japan, labor shortages and other factors are contributing to growing need for mechanization overseas. This has generated considerable demand for rebar tying tools and other MAX products.
Sales in Europe
MAX EUROPE B.V. was established in the Netherlands as our sales company in 2006.
As our industrial business centered on rebar tying tools grows, we are working to strengthen our sales structure and improve user convenience with an eye to expanding our business in Europe. Among the steps we have taken here are establishing a new German Office of MAX EUROPE B.V. in 2022 and establishing our own service system.
Expansion into new territories
We are working on spreading and expanding rebar tying tools in territories other than North America and Europe, such as South Korea, Taiwan and Oceania. Moreover, in the ASEAN countries and Middle East, we have commenced the cultivation of new markets in earnest, and are making our way to local construction jobsites to survey local needs while proposing ways to improve manufacturing efficiency, shorten construction periods, mitigate the burden on jobsite workers and so forth.
Exploring new product ideas and conducting market testing of our new products in the overseas markets as well
It is essential to our product development to visit jobsites in oversea countries, gather opinions directly from our customers, and reflect them in our products. Gathering opinions and confirming facts are the starting points for forging trust between us and our customers.
