Team Australia has welcomed KOKI Australia as an Official Supplier for its 2027 America's Cup campaign, with HiKOKI and Metabo professional power tools supporting the team's production, construction, repair and maintenance operations in Naples.
Behind the racing, Team Australia's production and technical crews are responsible for the constant building, modification, installation, repair and maintenance required to keep the campaign operating. HiKOKI and Metabo power tools will support this work across the team's workshops, base facilities and on-water support operations.
From construction and fit-out of the team base through to fabrication, equipment installation and ongoing repairs, the partnership will see the two professional power tool brands supporting a wide range of applications across the campaign.
Mark Allanson, Production & Manufacturing Manager at Team Australia, said: "An America's Cup campaign involves a huge amount of hands-on work. We're constantly building, modifying, repairing and maintaining equipment, so having reliable professional power tools available to our production and technical teams is essential.
"HiKOKI and Metabo give us a broad range of power tools suited to the different applications we deal with every day, and we're looking forward to putting them to work as we build and operate our campaign in Naples."
Shaminder Singh, National Marketing Manager at KOKI Australia, said: "We are incredibly proud to partner with Team Australia as they take on one of the world's most prestigious sailing competitions.
"At HiKOKI and Metabo, we understand the importance of precision, innovation and reliability in demanding working environments. These are qualities that align closely with the technical expertise and commitment required for an America's Cup campaign.
"Through this partnership, we're excited to support Team Australia's production and technical crews with professional power tools, helping them focus on what they do best as they prepare to compete on the world stage."
