Looking for Custom VELCRO® Brand Products? Why Platinum Converter Status Matters
Speedtech International is proud to announce that VELCRO® Brand Companies has awarded us Platinum Converter status. As one of only four companies in the United States with Platinum Converter status and over 30 years of textile fabrication expertise, we offer capabilities beyond standard distribution.
What is a VELCRO® Brand Platinum Converter?
The Authorized Platinum Converter designation is VELCRO® Brand Companies‘ official recognition that a partner is not just a reseller but a recommended, authorized technical partner that converts and fabricates finished products from their materials. This status confirms the company’s proven ability to:
- Convert Raw VELCRO® Brand Materials: Fabricate, cut, print, sew, or otherwise modify VELCRO® Brand hook & loop materials.
- Create Custom, Application-Specific Solutions: Manufacture finished, application-specific products based on a customer’s unique design or functional requirements.
This designation goes beyond basic reselling, establishing the partner as a custom manufacturing and method engineering resource for VELCRO® Brand fasteners. Speedtech International proudly holds the status of both an Authorized Distributor and an authorized Platinum Converter.
Platinum Converter vs. Authorized Distributor: The Key Difference
| Designation | Core Capability | Focus |
| Authorized Distributor | Authorized to buy and resell genuine VELCRO® Brand products. | Selling off-the-shelf fasteners, providing lower minimum order quantities, and ensuring authenticity. |
| Platinum Converter | Authorized and qualified to sell existing VELCRO® Brand products, but who can also convert raw VELCRO® Brand materials into custom or finished products! | Custom manufacturing, engineering collaboration, and application-specific product development. |

When seeking a custom hook & loop product, working with an Authorized Platinum Converter like Speedtech International provides several advantages:
