ZIPPERS AND SO MUCH MORE
YKK GROUP GLOBAL COMPANY. LOCAL IDENTITY.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ZIPPER
1851 — Elias Howe received a patent for an "Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure". He did not try seriously to market it, Howe's device was more like an elaborate draw-string than a true slide fastener.
1893 —
Whitcomb L. Judson receives a patent for a
"Clasp Locker." The device served as a
hook-and-eye shoe fastener. The clasp
locker had its public debut at the 1893
Chicago World's Fair but met with little
commercial success. Judson launched the
Universal Fastener Company to
manufacture the new device.

1917 — Gideon Sundback, a Swedish-American electrical engineer, was hired to work for Universal in 1906. Sundback devoted himself to improving the fastener, and by December 1913 he had designed the modern zipper. The patent for the "Separable Fastener" was issued in 1917.
1934 — YKK is founded as San-es Shokai by Tadao Yoshida in Tokyo; production and marketing of fastening products begins.
1955 — YKK Kurobe Plant commences operations in Kurobe City, Toyama Prefecture.
1959 —

India and New Zealand.
