Sample creation on-site is possible
As an authorized distributor of YKK fastening products for over 40 years, SANKYO FASTENER has been involved with all kinds of items, primarily in the apparel, bags, small accessories, and industrial materials sectors.
In 2019, the sales office in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, was renovated, and a showroom specializing in zippers was newly established.
Over 1,000 types of products and chain materials, along with more than 400 types of slider parts, are permanently exhibited, creating an overwhelming display. Various zippers hang on the zipper racks.
The zipper racks, designed for ease of viewing and selection, as well as for convenient management and organization by staff, were custom-made for the renovation.
With an inventory of over 400,000 meters, ranging from high-end zippers to those with high order volumes, the display is organized by tape color for practical zippers and materials. Rare zippers, such as overseas models and new products, are also available.
The showroom is staffed by specialists knowledgeable about zippers, and equipped with dedicated processing machines, allowing for on-site sample creation upon prior contact.
They also offer similar services for creators and manufacturers through their online store, allowing high-quality zipper samples to be delivered anywhere in Japan.
A specialty zipper store that fills a long-felt need. Located in Asakusabashi, a hub for many craftspeople, the showroom exudes a sense of craftsmanship.
