SBS Zipper has been the largest Chinese zipper company since 1984. We play a vital role in the domestic zipper industry, acknowledged as a group leader in the formation of the National and Industry Standards for zippers.

We have already passed significant certification needed from various globally recognised firms such as ISO 14000, ISO9000, Bluesign to Oeko-Tex.
