In the automotive and aviation industries, precision and supply chain integration are as critical as the product itself. A halted assembly line due to a missing component costs thousands per minute. Zipex has optimized its UK manufacturing capability to support Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery systems, ensuring fixed, calibrated zippers arrive exactly when your production schedule demands them.
We manufacture specialised fastening solutions that meet the rigorous safety and aesthetic standards of transport interiors. Our range includes “Fogging-Free” zippers (low VOC) to prevent windshield haze in vehicles, and “Bleeding-Free” tapes to ensure dye does not transfer onto high-value leather or fabric seats.
For the aviation sector, we supply permanent Flame Retardant (FR) zippers engineered to meet FAR/CS 25.853 flammability standards, ensuring full compliance for cabin interiors.
Key Capabilities:
- Fogging-Free: Low-volatility component materials that prevent chemical “fogging” on vehicle windshields and windows.
- Bleeding-Free: High colour-fastness guarantees to prevent dye migration onto luxury leather or light-coloured upholstery.
- Aviation FR Compliance: Zippers engineered to meet strict aerospace flammability and toxicity standards.
- Just-In-Time (JIT) Ready: Structured stock management and rapid UK production to align with lean manufacturing assembly lines.
- Invisible Integration: Reversed sliders and concealed coils for a sleek, premium finish on seat covers and headrests.
