YKK Bangladesh marks 25th anniversary in Dhaka

YKK Bangladesh, the Bangladeshi subsidiary of Japanese fastening manufacturer YKK, has marked its 25th anniversary with a ceremony in Dhaka on November 8.

YKK first set up an office in Dhaka in 1989. In November 2000, it established YKK Bangladesh as its manufacturing and sales base for fastening products in the country.

According to the group, the company has gradually expanded its production capacity and operations since then, in line with the growth of Bangladesh's apparel industry.

Ceremony with around 280 guests

Around 280 people attended the anniversary event, which included a video on the company's 25-year history, an awards ceremony and a commemorative tree planting. YKK said the event was also intended to thank customers, employees, partners and local communities.

The subsidiary is led by managing director Takahiko Asano. YKK said it plans to continue growing the business in Bangladesh in partnership with customers and local communities.

The anniversary follows that of Golden Hill Tower, YKK's group company in Myanmar, which also marked 25 years in October.
