INTERSKOL

What INTERSKOL does

INTERSKOL (operated as LLC KLS-Trade / ООО «КЛС-Трейд») is a Russian manufacturer of power tools and garden equipment, founded in 1991 and headquartered in Khimki, Moscow Oblast. The company operates its own factory in the Republic of Tatarstan and claims to be the only Russian brand with a complete in-house development cycle spanning R&D, engineering, prototyping, and testing. It maintains a portfolio of over 2,000 proprietary developments and patents, with its core technological differentiator being proprietary brushless (ventil) electric motors paired with digital control electronics, which the company states deliver 30% higher efficiency than conventional brushed motors.

The product portfolio is organized around three proprietary battery platforms (АПИ 18V, АПИ Т 12V, and bi-voltage АПИ 18/36V using 21700 cells) and the МультиМАКС (MultiMAX) 18V modular system, in which a single universal brushless drive unit (ММ-18ВМ) is paired with 20+ interchangeable working modules spanning drills, impact wrenches, jigsaws, reciprocating saws, angle grinders, sanders, renovators, pressure washers, garden shears, and chainsaws. Corded and gasoline-powered products (drills, angle grinders, chainsaws, brush cutters, lawn mowers) and a МультиБОКС stackable storage system round out the offering. New product launches in 2026 (ШАУ-250/18ВЭ, ГАУ-800/36ВЭ, ГАУ-1400/36ВЭ, УШМВ brushless grinder lineup, ДА-13/12В 45 and ДАУ-13/12В 45) demonstrate active roadmap execution.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of cordless and corded power tools, garden equipment, and accessories, supplemented by aftermarket service revenue through 470 authorized service centers across Russia. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the official online store (shop.interskol.ru), service center sales, and a toll-free phone sales line. Primary customer segments are professional tradespeople and construction workers (using the brand's professional-grade positioning), with secondary segments including homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and garden/landscape users. The company operates exclusively in the Russian domestic market, with no disclosed international expansion.

Direct peers

• Makita: Major Japanese power tool manufacturer with strong LXT 18V cordless platform and broad product portfolio of professional and consumer tools. Direct competitor in cordless battery platforms, brushless motors, and the modular tool philosophy that INTERSKOL's MultiMAX mirrors.
• HiKOKI (formerly Hitachi Power Tools): Japanese power tool manufacturer with 18V and 36V MultiVolt battery platforms. Direct competitor in cordless brushless tools, multi-voltage battery technology (comparable to INTERSKOL's 18/36V bi-voltage АПИ), and professional segment positioning.
• Einhell: German power tool and garden equipment manufacturer offering DIY and semi-professional tools across battery platforms. Comparable in product breadth across power tools and garden equipment, and in offering universal battery compatibility across tool families.
• Metabo (Koki Holdings): German power tool specialist known for professional-grade tools and brushless motor technology. Comparable in engineering focus, brushless motor development, and industrial customer positioning.

Broad incumbents

• DeWalt (Stanley Black & Decker): Professional-grade power tool brand with 20V MAX and 60V FLEXVOLT battery platforms. Competes head-to-head with INTERSKOL in the professional construction segment, particularly in impact wrenches, rotary hammers, and cordless angle grinders.
• Milwaukee Tool: US-based professional power tool brand with M18 and M12 platforms. Comparable in brushless motor technology, modular battery platforms, and aggressive product launch cadence that INTERSKOL is emulating with its 18V and 18/36V launches.
• Bosch Power Tools: Global leader in power tools with broad professional and DIY portfolio across cordless, corded, and garden equipment. Directly comparable as the global benchmark INTERSKOL competes against in brushless motor technology, battery platforms, and professional tooling.
• Hilti: Premium professional power tool provider focused on construction and industrial trades. Comparable in targeting professional tradespeople and construction workers who need tools for sustained high-load use, though Hilti operates at a higher premium price point.

Emerging players

• Karcher: German specialist in cleaning equipment including pressure washers. Comparable in product category overlap (INTERSKOL's mini pressure washer module, АМ-30/18В) and brand positioning across professional and consumer segments.

Regional players
