Establishing a New Series of Exterior Products that Create the Facade of the Home: Launch of the 'allFACE Post Unit'

YKK AP Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Akira Uozu) has newly established "allFACE" in its exterior product series. "allFACE" is a product series that creates a facade with a simple design that becomes the face of the residence. As the first phase of the series, the "allFACE Post Unit," a functional pole integrating a mailbox and delivery box that realizes a square form based on horizontal and vertical lines and refined details, will be released on June 1.

At the end of March 2026, the Comprehensive Logistics Policy Outline (FY2026-FY2030) was approved by the Cabinet, announcing a plan to increase the usage rate of diverse receiving methods, such as contactless delivery (drop-off), to about 50% by FY2030. Through the popularization of related products including delivery boxes, YKK AP will advance efforts toward building strong and resilient logistics and realizing a sustainable society.

Envisioned as a series that provides a beautifully proportioned "Face" to the home from "all" angles, it shares the common concepts of: 1) well-balanced proportions based on horizontal and vertical lines, 2) beautiful details without unnecessary lines or bumps, and 3) high-quality colors and finishes.

The post unit, the first in the series, is a functional pole installed at the entrance of a residence that integrates a nameplate, intercom, mailbox, delivery box, and lighting. Consolidating necessary functions into a single pillar offers various merits such as space saving, a unified appearance, and improved convenience and crime prevention. With the recent increase in open exteriors and simple exterior designs in modern homes, there is growing demand to simultaneously achieve both convenience and design trends. Therefore, we have lined up the "allFACE Post Unit" as an item that harmonizes with the residence through a trendy horizontal and vertical form and refined details, while aggregating the necessary functions for a residential entrance.

Moving forward, the "allFACE" series is scheduled to expand its exterior entrance products as a series that creates a facade with a simple design serving as the face of the home. YKK AP will continue to...
