Hasselt is a well-known city in Belgium—but not for its chocolate, waffles or beer. Instead, the city is most famous for being home to the largest Japanese garden in Europe and a 17th-century-home museum dedicated to the art of clothing.
Manufacturing is also an important part of Hasselt’s culture, with the Yamauchi Corp. N.V. (YCNV) being one of many companies headquartered here. YCNV is a subsidiary of the Japan-based Yamauchi Corp., and it specializes in the production of plastic injection-molded parts, including those for the automotive and battery industries.
