2013 Summary: Holding company for the Velcro companies,
which are primarily involved in the manufacturing and marketing of hook
and loop fasteners. The Company, through its subsidiaries, offers hundreds
of different hook and loop products and fastening systems. Velcro
Industries' story is fasten-ating. The company's versatile hook-and-loop
fasteners originated in 1948 as the brainchild of a Swiss inventor, who
became curious about cockleburs that stuck to his clothes. The resulting
trademarked invention VELCRO (named for the French words for "velour" and
"crochet") can be separated and reclosed 10,000 times, hold up to nine pounds
per square inch, and has been used in a plethora of company-designed and
consumer-devised applications. VELCRO, which is owned by Cohere, Ltd, sells
its products to the apparel, automotive, consumer, electronic, and industrial
markets worldwide from about a dozen factories in North America, Europe,
and Asia/pacific.

and the industry leader in hook and loop fasteners. Recent technical
advances have included the development of a unique, patented molded hook
fastener called ULTRA-MATE brand HTH (High Technology Hook), which can be

how many ways it affects your life. From keeping athletic shoes on your
feet, to anchoring equipment on NASA's space shuttle, VELCRO brand hook and
loop fasteners have provided simple solutions to fastening, storage and
organization problems for over 40 years. And some of the most innovative and
