dolmar

Dolmar is a German brand of handheld power tools best known for its chainsaws. It originated as an independent manufacturer of portable gasoline-powered saws and related garden equipment in Germany and developed a reputation for rugged, professional-use machines.

In the early 1990s, Dolmar was acquired by Makita Corporation of Japan. Since the acquisition, Dolmar has operated as a brand within the Makita group. The arrangement integrated Dolmar’s product lines and distribution with Makita’s global operations, while allowing the Dolmar name to continue to appear on certain models and markets.

The Dolmar product range covers chainsaws, as well as other outdoor power tools such as brushcutters and leaf blowers. The focus has historically been on professional and heavy-duty use, though consumer models are also offered. Over time, Dolmar tools have been produced under the Makita umbrella, with engineering and manufacturing resources shared across brands as appropriate to market demands.

Geographically, Dolmar tools are distributed worldwide, with a strong presence in Europe and other regions where Makita operates. The brand’s identity remains tied to portability, durability, and performance in demanding outdoor work.

In summary, Dolmar is a long-standing German power tool brand known for chainsaws, now functioning as part of Makita, continuing to offer outdoor and forestry-oriented tools to professional and consumer audiences.
