VELCRO brand products are world-renowned fasteners that revolutionized the way items are secured. The hook-and-loop technology was originally inspired by the way burdock seeds attached themselves to a dog's coat, leading to the invention by Swiss engineer George de Mestral in the 1940s.

Today, the brand is owned by Velcro IP Holdings LLC and the Velcro Companies. While the brand has Swiss origins, its global headquarters are now located in the United Kingdom. Manufacturing for their industrial-strength adhesive products takes place across multiple facilities globally, including major sites in the United States, Mexico, China, and Spain to serve international markets.

The VELCRO Companies operate as a vertically integrated global organization, maintaining strict control over the trademark and quality of their fasteners. They serve a wide range of industries including aerospace, medical, automotive, and general consumer household goods.
