YKK 50 Building that is used for the headquarters in the YKK's main factory, Kurobe campus, was built in commemoration of company’s 50th anniversary in1984. During the 30 years after its completion, it has always renewed its function to meet the changing business environment by constant renovation. Our latest commitment was the renovation of the conference and meeting rooms on the ground floor and the cafeteria on the 2nd floor. The former includes new reception room for the VIPs, multiple meeting rooms and a large conference room which was converted from a room with special structure system, originally used as a video theater for company advertisement. A louver system made of plastic hollow panel for crate is installed under the ceiling of large hall works in moderating acoustical and light environment. The original large banquet room was converted and refurbished for the cafeteria. The original chandeliers were preserved.
