About Us

A Sri Lankan manufacturer with global standards.

Since 1997, Hero Zipper Manufacturers has grown into Sri Lanka's leading and effectively sole large-scale domestic zipper producer — supplying the apparel industry under the HRO and NSK brands.

Our story

From a single Sri Lankan factory to an industry benchmark.

Hero Zipper Manufacturers was founded in 1997 with a simple commitment: to make zipper products of uncompromising quality, here in Sri Lanka, end to end. Over more than two decades we have built a 100% vertically integrated operation — controlling every step from raw material processing through to the finished zipper.

Today the company is the market leader in Sri Lanka's apparel-zipper sector, with an estimated 95%+ share, and supplies trusted brands and institutions including school-uniform manufacturers, the Army, Navy and Air Force, and premium menswear labels such as Vantage and Emeralds.

Vision

To be the benchmark for zipper manufacturing in South Asia — delivering world-class quality, reliability, and sustainable products to the global apparel industry.

Mission

We dedicate our total resources and capabilities to making state-of-the-art products and continuously raising the bar through technical innovation, while supporting our people and community.
