YKK held a groundbreaking ceremony on September 25, 2026, to mark the start of construction of YKK India Private Limited’s new plant in southern India. Approximately 40 participants, including Jin Deguchi, Managing Director of YKK India, attended the ceremony.
YKK India Private Limited will construct its third plant in India at the ORIGINS Chennai industrial park near Chennai, Tamil Nadu, in southern India.
