The newly founded company Stock &amp; Co. launched a real innovation on the market with its very first product, the sew-on snap fastener. Over the years, the original company name developed into the brand name STOCKO. It became the company name in 1923 due to its high level of acceptance and recognition in the market.<\/p>\n<p>STOCKO has developed from a small production company into an internationally active company that has been part of the globally active YKK GROUP since 1994.
