Whether you need a short run or large-volume production, we have the capability to meet almost any requirement.
A reputation built on high standards and fast despatch
What sets Zipex apart is our commitment to producing high-quality zippers entirely within our UK factory, where precision automation and skilled craftsmanship work hand in hand. This combination enables us to maintain exceptional standards while delivering orders with unbeatable turnaround times — an essential advantage for our customers’ supply chains.

Our renowned PEX brand is manufactured to BS3084 standards, trusted by major retailers and manufacturers across multiple industries. Whether you need fast delivery, specialist zipper designs, high-volume production or help sourcing a specific product, Zipex provides flexible, reliable solutions backed by nearly four decades of expertise.
