The recognition cements the company’s extraordinary production scale and its far-reaching influence across the global apparel, outdoor gear, and industrial sectors.
The company—which produces billions of high-quality zippers annually, supplying major international brands—was acknowledged not only for its sheer output but also for its commitment to innovation, design, technology, and durability.
The achievement reinforces Japan’s global reputation for precision engineering and high-quality production.

With a vast global distribution network and manufacturing facilities equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, the company has played a crucial role in standardizing and shaping the modern zipper industry. The Guinness World Records certification places Tokyo firmly on the map as a definitive hub of manufacturing excellence.
This milestone not only cements the company’s position as an undisputed leader in its field but also inspires further innovation in garment hardware and textile accessories worldwide, promising a future of increasingly reliable and high-quality fastening solutions.
