History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 424310-31 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Zippers have been around since the late 19th century, but it wasn't until the 1920s that they became widely used in clothing. The first zippers were made of metal and were used mainly in boots and tobacco pouches. In the 1930s, plastic zippers were introduced, which made them more affordable and easier to produce. During World War II, zippers were used in military uniforms and equipment, which helped to increase their popularity. In the 1950s and 1960s, zippers became a popular fashion accessory, and they were used in everything from dresses to handbags. In recent years, zippers have become more advanced, with features like waterproofing and fire resistance. In the United States, the zipper industry has been dominated by YKK, a Japanese company that produces over half of the world's zippers.
