3. “ No one prospers unless he renders benefit to others.” This is the basic philosophy of YKK. Conceived by our founder Tadao Yoshida, it drives YKK continually to create value through innovative ideas and inventions, and to circulate the benefits throughout society – to employees, customers, suppliers, and the many communities where we live and work. It defines our commitment to every component part we produce no matter its size. YKK parts must function perfectly to enhance customers’ products and render maximum value to the finished whole.
4. Worldwide, YKK is committed to being environmentally responsible. We fully understand that what we do from day to day impacts not only the world around us but our future. In 1994 we adopted the YKK Environmental Charter for all YKK operations. It states that we are committed to harmony between abundance and health, and also to the ongoing well being of Earth.

That long Japanese name translates roughly into English as “Yoshida Company Limited.” “ YKK. Little Parts. Big Difference.” In 1994, under the direction of our current president, Tadahiro Yoshida, the name of the famous YKK brand became the name of the Company, or “YKK Corporation.” (At the same time, YKK Corporation in America became “YKK Corporation of America.”) Today, all YKK’s fastening products are marketed under the brand name YKK; all architectural products are marketed under the brand name YKK AP. And the famous initials of “YKK” remain the symbol for quality components – and innovation at work in partnership with customers. That’s why people say,
