Today's zip has come a long way since
its first application as a closing system for
mailbags more than a century ago.
Now it is an important fashion accessory
made from metal, polyester and nylon
materials, and is offered in many different
shapes, sizes and colours.
Coats is the second largest zip manufacturer in the world.
Under the OPTI brand, Coats offers a wide range of zips
suitable for all kinds of industrial applications in the apparel
and speciality sectors, as well as for craft and home sewing
usage. The Opti range of zip fasteners is backed by
unrivalled technology, designed to give Coats customers
a product they trust, which is why we're growing.
