About YKK

YKK Danmark A/S is an independent company based in Denmark. We have been here since 1982 as part of the global Japanese YKK Group.

We are market leaders – in Denmark and abroad

We are one of the leading and preferred suppliers when it comes to zippers and fasteners. This is no coincidence. With access to a global network of 108 YKK companies in 72 countries, we can manufacture the order exactly where it makes the most sense for each customer.

World class logistical solutions

For us, it’s not just about producing the best zippers and fastening solutions. It’s also about optimising processes. We don’t just deliver a product from A to B. We take the next step and enter into partnerships through the entire value chain. This means that global logistical solutions are also part of our working day.

YKK was founded in Japan. But the group is present in 72 countries

The YKK Group was founded in Japan in 1934 by Tadao Yoshida. Originally under the name Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha, which was later shortened to YKK. The Group has approximately 45,000 employees worldwide in 108 YKK companies in 72 countries.

The YKK Group's activities are divided into the divisions: zippers, snap and jeans buttons, and textiles and plastics. The global activities of the divisions are distributed from six regions: Japan, Americas (North, Central and South America), Europe, ISAMEA (India, South Asia, Middle East and Africa), ASEAN (South East Asia) and China. This is to ensure that all activities are always locally based.

The philosophy of the Group

"Cycle of Goodness"

No one prospers without rendering benefit to others

This means that all YKK products must be produced of such high quality that they benefit or enhance the end product that they are a part of. In order to live up to the philosophy of high quality in all YKK products, we not only produce all of our own products, but also the machines that the zippers and fastening solutions are produced by. Many of the raw materials that are used in the products are also produced in the YKK Group.

Our trademark is quality

Anyone can talk about making high-quality products, however, few actually live up to the promise like YKK does. Since the 1950s, we have gradually introduced quality control on all YKK factories all over the world. And in 1997 we established the “Fastening Global Quality Management Committee” (FGQMC) to ensure uniform quality worldwide.

Today, the role of FGQMC is to examine international rules and laws, testing and conducting quality assessment of new products, preparation of product specifications and other quality assurance activities. This work is done to ensure that the YKK Group always delivers the highest possible quality.

Certified Quality

All primary YKK production facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and most standard YKK products are Oeko-Tex 100 Class 1 certified.
