The Fastening Products Group meets continually changing market needs with three product business divisions - the Slide Fastener Division, the Textile and Plastic Products Division, and the Snap Fastener and Button Division. In recent years, the world textile and apparel industries have seen considerable diversification in consumer needs, shorter product life cycles, and demands for faster, lower-cost production. More nimbly to address these changes, we divided our global business into six geographical blocks, thereby enabling YKK to further contribute to our clients' globalization efforts. Furthermore, YKK Fastening Products Sales Inc. considers Japan and the rest of Asia a single market, and works toward more accurate product development and faster customer service.
