Brand positioning and origin
HOKOY is a Taiwanese zipper manufacturer with a full-range catalogue covering metal, moulded resin and nylon coil constructions. Taiwan's fastening industry developed as a supplier to apparel and bag exporters, and companies of this type typically combine manufacturing with trading experience across Asian production networks.
The brand's position is that of a reliable mid-market supplier: standard constructions, consistent colour reproduction and the flexibility to serve both direct factories and trading companies. It is less known for fashion-led hardware than for dependable delivery.
Product range
The catalogue covers all three main families:
- Metal zippers in brass and aluminium, #3 to #10, standard and Y-tooth profiles.
- Moulded resin zippers in #3 to #10 for outerwear, luggage and sportswear.
- Nylon coil zippers, including invisible and two-way articles.
- Waterproof and reflective constructions for outdoor and safety programmes.
- Custom tape colours, sliders and pulls for private-label orders.
Typical applications
HOKOY serves apparel, bags and luggage, outdoor equipment, workwear and home textiles. Typical applications include jackets, jeans, sportswear, backpacks, trolley cases, tent openings and bedding covers. Export experience with both North American and European buyers is reflected in the documentation the brand can provide.
Quality and compliance
Articles are tested for tooth strength, slider durability, colourfastness and corrosion resistance under a documented quality management system, with reference to ASTM D2061 and BS 3084. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and restricted-substance documentation are available for part of the range. Certification for a specific article is subject to the supplier's certificates.
Sourcing notes
Taiwanese suppliers typically quote minimum order quantities per article, colour and length, with reasonable flexibility for catalogue colours. Sampling takes one to two weeks. Bulk production generally runs 30 to 45 days, and some articles are available from stock. Buyers should confirm whether manufacturing is in Taiwan or at an affiliated mainland plant, as this affects lead time and documentation.
