From April 8–11, 2026, YKK Vietnam participated in SaigonTex Vietnam 2026 – the Vietnam International Textile & Garment Industry Exhibition – held at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC). This is one of the most prominent and large-scale trade exhibitions in Vietnam’s textile and garment industry, bringing together a wide range of enterprises, industry experts, and international partners. The event provides valuable opportunities for business networking, technology updates, and the promotion of sustainable development across the industry.
SaigonTex Vietnam 2026 is recognized as one of the most significant textile and garment exhibitions in Southeast Asia. Spanning over 34,000 square meters, this year’s event hosted more than 1,100 exhibitors from 25 countries and territories, creating a dynamic and globally connected sourcing and trading platform.
Beyond a conventional product showcase, SaigonTex 2026 serves as a strategic platform for industry players to access advanced technologies, stay updated with manufacturing trends, and expand international partnerships. The exhibition aims to accelerate innovation, digital transformation, and, notably, sustainable development—factors that are increasingly becoming essential standards within the global textile supply chain.
At the exhibition, YKK Vietnam presented a comprehensive product portfolio that reflects its commitment to technological innovation and sustainability. The showcased zipper solutions not only meet increasingly stringent performance requirements in garment manufacturing but also align with the global shift toward greener supply chains.
A key highlight is the advanced AiryString® zipper, engineered with a unique structure that significantly reduces weight while maintaining durability and functional performance. With its lightweight and flexible design, AiryString® enhances user comfort and is particularly suitable for high-end fashion, sportswear, and technical garments. This innovation represents a notable advancement in zipper engineering, addressing the evolving demands of the global market.
In addition, YKK Vietnam introduced environmentally responsible products, notably NATULON®, a zipper line made from recycled materials. The company also showcased a comprehensive range of fastening solutions, including buttons, snap fasteners, and other trim components. By offering an integrated product ecosystem, YKK enables manufacturers to streamline sourcing, reduce operational costs, and improve efficiency across the entire production process.
Beyond product innovation, YKK remains committed to corporate social responsibility through its “Cycle of Goodness” philosophy, which serves as a guiding principle for all business activities. This commitment is demonstrated through continuous investment in environmentally responsible manufacturing technologies, energy optimization, and efforts to minimize environmental impact. As the global textile industry faces increasing pressure related to cost efficiency, environmental compliance, and stricter international standards, YKK’s ongoing innovations contribute to reshaping supply chains toward greater efficiency, transparency, and sustainability.
SaigonTex Vietnam 2026 has concluded with many notable outcomes. Moving forward, YKK is expected to continue partnering with industry stakeholders, supporting the adoption of high-quality and environmentally responsible garment accessories and trim solutions.
