Sky Industries Ltd (SIL) has been in the business of narrow fabrics for more than 20 years specifically in Hook & Loop manufacturing, in fact SIL is the largest player of Premium Hook and Loop Tape Fastener (Velcro) in India. Company enjoys its leadership position by Velcro brand association with Bata, Relaxo & Liberty footwear manufactures currently. These technical textile products are used mostly in all the industries such as Footwear, Orthopaedic, Aviation, Home furnishing, Food packaging, Automobile, engineering, Medical accessories and sports etc.
One of the main reasons which attracted me to this company other than its leadership position in India is its recent association with APLIX.
