Shindaiwa Logo

Originally from Japan, Shindaiwa has established itself as a reputable manufacturer of outdoor power equipment such as chainsaws, trimmers, blowers, and various handheld machines. Founder Shiro Shindaiwa started the company in 1952, initially focusing on building two-stroke gasoline engines and pioneering Shindaiwa chainsaw models.

Shindaiwa is headquartered in Takaoka, Toyama, and its products are distributed worldwide under the recognizable Shindaiwa brand. The company focuses primarily on professionals such as landscapers, arborists, and utility workers who require reliable commercial-grade outdoor equipment.

The Shindaiwa name is synonymous with powerful equipment with exceptional reliability and reduced vibration. This reputation is due to the patented engine technology behind their products. Shindaiwa’s wide range of products includes brush cutters, brooms, hedge trimmers, sprayers, cultivators, electric wheelbarrows, and a myriad of related accessories.

In 2004, as a result of strategic business changes, Shindaiwa was incorporated into Yamabiko Corporation, another Japanese company specializing in outdoor power equipment. However, Shindaiwa retained its identity as a subsidiary brand of the parent corporation.

Although the Shindaiwa name is familiar in some households, its equipment is represented worldwide, aided by an extensive dealer network that provides service and support. Much of the company’s resources are devoted to technological advances, as evidenced by more than 100 U.S. patents for improvements in two-stroke engines and vibration reduction technologies.

Over its more than seventy-year history, Shindaiwa has solidified its position as a leading brand of heavy-duty, professional-grade power tools, upholding a tradition of excellence and quality.
