Brief History Selectus started out originally as a Swiss company, manufacturing bias bindings under the trademark 'Fillawant'. Weaving ribbon production began in the UK in 1936, with a purpose built factory located in Biddulph, North Staffordshire. Selectus also lay claim to the fact that we were the original pioneers of velcro and were the sole licensees and manufacturers in the UK. Over the years there have been many additions to the site in Biddulph, including a dye house and specially designed order picking warehouse. Selectus still trades and manufactures from its Biddulph site today and continues to be renowned as one of the UK's finest ribbon manufacturers. |
