Countries of Operation[edit]
Today, Yamazaki Headquarters is located in Nara, Japan. In 2014, Yamazaki Home began its expansion outside of Japan by opening its first global office in the United States.[1] The U.S. branch is located in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. A couple years later, in 2016, Yamazaki took their business to Europe, by opening its EU branch, based in Germany.
History[edit]
Yamazaki started as a family-run business more than 100 years and four generations ago, manufacturing ironing boards.[2]
Around 1950, Japanese people began trading kimonos for western clothing, so the company adapted by making ironing boards[3]. In more recent years, the brand saw an opportunity to expand its product line, to offer a wider range of products for every area of the home.
The first non-ironing board product designed was the umbrella stand. The popularity of the product helped Yamazaki transition from just an “ironing-board maker” to a brand that created items for use throughout the home. Quality, simplicity, and functionality became synonymous with the Japanese brand.
