Halco USA and 3M Join Forces to Offer Customized Recloseable Fasteners
San Francisco, California (PRWEB) February 27, 2017 -- Halco USA and 3M have joined forces to offer self-gripping fasteners which can be customized to meet specific design requirements.
Realizing no roll of Hook & Loop stays in roll form, this strategic new partnership aims to take the burden of fastener customization off manufacturers, enabling them to run leaner inventories and streamline operations for greater efficiency.

Guy Fussell, Sales Manager for Halco USA said: “Halco’s extraordinary expertise in the converting of recloseable fasteners has enabled us to build relationships with thousands of clients around the globe who regard us as an integral manufacturing partner.”
“For many years Halco has applied 3M Adhesives to our own Hook & Loop designs. Taking advantage of world-leading adhesive technologies we've developed hybrid fastening systems that bond powerfully to substrates across multiple applications. It made sense to join forces and expand on what we’re already doing,” Guy added.
Jill Nakamura of 3M’s Industrial Markets added: “We’re pleased to welcome Halco, a leader in innovative fastening solutions, as a Specialist 3M Converter for Recloseable Fasteners.”
With this new partnership clients can enjoy the convenience of having Halco convert 3M products such as 3M™ Dual Lock™ and 3M™ Gripping Material to their precise requirements, including applications where 3M fasteners are specified by design.
