For over 26 years, YKK Lanka (Private) Limited has been a trusted name in Sri Lanka’s
industrial landscape. As part of the YKK Group, a global leader in fastening products—
including zippers, snaps, and buttons—the company continues to strengthen its presence
while contributing to the nation’s economic and social development.
Guided by its founding philosophy CYCLE OF GOODNESS®, which believes that “no one
prospers without rendering benefit to others,” YKK Lanka operates with integrity and a long
term vision of shared growth. Its management principle—“YKK seeks corporate value of
higher significance”—reflects its commitment to co-existence and co-prosperity with
customers, partners, and the community.
Sustainability lies at the heart of YKK’s operations. YKK Lanka adopts eco-friendly
manufacturing practices, reduces energy consumption, and uses recycled and responsibly
sourced materials. A key initiative involves partnering with neighboring factories to collect
PET bottles, which are then sent to ECO Spindles, a local recycling company that transforms
them into yarn for NATULON® Ocean Sourced™ zippers. This effort helps combat ocean
plastic pollution and promotes circularity within the textile industry.
YKK Lanka is also deeply engaged in community development. The company’s CSR initiatives
include annual tree planting drives, waste management campaigns, and support for
healthcare projects such as renovation work at Avissawella Base Hospital and the donation of
a liquid nitrogen canister to enhance patient care. Most recently from 27-29 August 2025, YKK
Lanka, together with YKK Holding Asia Pte Ltd, co-organized the YKK ASAO Kids Football Clinic
to promote teamwork, discipline, and healthy living among underprivileged children.
“Our journey has always been about growing together with our communities,” said Mr. Kei
Tanaka, Managing Director of YKK Lanka. “Guided by the CYCLE OF GOODNESS®, we remain
dedicated to quality, sustainability, and creating a positive impact on society and the
environment.”
Through its integrated approach to sustainability, CSR, and community engagement, YKK
Lanka continues to build a more responsible and sustainable future for all.
