Flexible, Fast-Turnaround YKK Zipper Processing and Sales Service
Sankyo Fastener Co., Ltd.
Reliable full lineup of YKK Japanese-made zippers from authorized channels
Supplying authentic YKK zippers in small lots to overseas garment factories
As an authorized manufacturer and distributor of YKK zippers, Sankyo Fastener Co., Ltd. leverages its extensive inventory of zipper materials and processing equipment to meet customer requirements (specifications, quantities, and lead times), from in-house zipper manufacturing to the fastest possible procurement.
We also flexibly accommodate inquiries regarding small lots, short lead times, exports of zippers to garment factories (garment-manufacturing countries), and more.
YKK’s lead times for zipper items vary by country, so we respond promptly to requests for products that are unavailable at production factories, have long lead times, or face other challenges.
Furthermore, even if you do not know the part number or processing specifications, we will make recommendations based on your intended application and requirements.
Craftsman making a sample
A flexible in-house processing system that accommodates small lots and short lead times
YKK provides our company with a wide range of zipper processing machines designed for various applications. We strategically use both automated equipment and handcrafted techniques, depending on order size and delivery timelines. This flexibility, paired with our large inventory, allows us to quickly adapt to customer needs and deliver customized solutions.
The growing demand for diverse product types, small-lot orders, and fast turnarounds has made the expertise of our skilled craftsmen and manual machines more critical than ever. Our artisans, who manually cut and finish zipper chains, achieve unmatched precision and speed—even outperforming the latest automated machines.
By leveraging this unique system, we can fine-tune existing zippers or create new combinations, offering optimal solutions that perfectly match your brand’s vision. Our services are especially valued for:
- Sample production for exhibitions
- Short lead-time manufacturing
- Flexible production in both small and large lots

Sample rack for Excella®
Extensive inventory and proposal capabilities backed by 50 years of expertise
We stock a wide range of YKK zipper brands, including Excella®, Everbright®, Metal, AquaGuard®, Coil, and Vislon®. In particular, we carry the largest selection of Excella® chains and sliders—trusted by luxury brands worldwide—enabling us to meet diverse customer demands with speed and precision.
At our company, we maintain an inventory of over 200 zipper chain colors for each brand, ensuring fast response times for delivery schedules and color changes. When it comes to customizing colors and lengths, we can offer variations that other companies often struggle to provide.
For mass production, which accounts for over 90% of our stock, we keep at least 300 meters per color and, for items with the largest quantities, several thousand meters per brand. For small-lot orders under 100 meters, our inventory is efficiently managed on wall racks, allowing for immediate processing.
Additionally, we excel at identifying and addressing needs that customers may not have fully recognized. Through careful consultation, we uncover hidden challenges and provide tailored solutions. With 50 years of experience, we bring deep knowledge of zippers and garment accessories, particularly in the apparel and sewn goods industries. We understand the unique challenges faced by brands and manufacturers—whether related to delivery schedules, cost, or design limitations—and are here to help. Feel free to reach out to us for any inquiries.

By utilizing our extensive parts inventory, proprietary processing techniques, and sewing network, we also manufacture tailored goods based on customer requirements. From promotional items to leather goods, we offer a wide range of OEM production solutions for original products.
