Paiho introduces new hook

01/07/2010
Taiwanese manufacturer of hook-and-loop systems and reflective material Paiho has introduced a new product, its Number 6 hook.

The company explained on making the announcement that the new hook is thinner and lighter. The gap between the Number 6 hook and the company's un-napped loop number 1075 is small after closure.

Paiho added that there was no compromise on strength and that the combination was well suited to shoes requiring "high fastening strength" such as those used in basketball, hockey and tennis, as well as to specialist winter sports products. It will not damage fabric and offers a high level of durability, the company said.

The Paiho group now has 30 years' experience in manufacturing and supplying material to the footwear and apparel industries. It has manufacturing bases in Taiwan, China and Vietnam, and, warehouses in North America and Spain. As well as hook-and-loop and reflective technology, it supplies elastics, webbing, shoe laces, 2D logos and bamboo charcoal fibres.

It uses high-quality material and advanced machinery to produce this range of products. In 2006, it invested more than $24 million on moulded hook machinery to increase its production capacity of hook-and-loop systems.
