From Zippers to Architectural Products, today's YKK probably makes something with which you start your day. Located in Marietta, Georgia, YKK's Western Hemisphere parent is YKK Corporation of America (YCA). From Georgia, YCA oversees a group of 15 dynamic operating companies spread across 5 time zones from Canada to South America.

When I was little my dad told me to always buy things with ykk zippers in them, because ykk was the best brand of zippers and they wouldn't break.
