YKK is an abbreviation for a world-renowned brand whose full name is Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha. The company itself was founded back in 1934 in Tokyo, and since its beginnings it has focused on the manual production of zippers, snap fasteners and buttons. The brand became famous for producing the highest quality zippers in the world. YKK manufactures and sells a wide range of zippers, with a primary focus on three types, namely metal, coil and VISLON®.
Metal zippers are among the zippers with the longest history and are suitable for various applications such as jackets, jeans, luggage and other products. Coil zippers are made of coiled plastic elements, including polyester and nylon. They are also the softest zipper among the three types of zippers.
