en.Wedoany.com Reported - YKK Corporation plans to invest $150 million to build a new zipper production factory in Tamil Nadu, India, to strengthen its production capacity in the Indian market.

The new factory will be located in the "Origins by Mahindra, Chennai" industrial park in Chennai and is expected to be completed in February 2028. This factory will become YKK's third production base in India, complementing its two existing factories in Haryana, northern India. The planned factory covers an area of 149,936 square meters, with a building area of 74,658 square meters.

YKK stated that the new factory will introduce its advanced technology, aiming to meet the growing demands of both the domestic Indian market and export-oriented manufacturers. By expanding local employment opportunities and supporting local development, the company hopes to strengthen its business operations rooted in local communities. The facility will establish a production system to provide products that can meet a wide range of customer needs.

The new factory is specifically located on plots 9, 10, and 11 in the industrial park of Eliambedu Village, Tiruvallur District, Tamil Nadu. The $150 million investment covers land, building, machinery, and equipment costs. YKK's Indian subsidiary was established as a wholly-owned entity in 1995. The factory in Haryana began production in March 1997 on 26 acres of land, primarily producing metal and non-metal zippers. Last December, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda reported that YKK is increasing its investment in the state by 2.5 billion rupees (approximately $52 million).
