metal zippers / day , FIZ uses Chinese machines ( made in collaboration with Italy ) for manufacturing metal zippers , machines of Korean make to manufacture Fizlon zippers , Taiwanese machines to make Coil zippers and Chinese machinery exclusively for metal buttons .
With the competition heating up , Nasir Ullah feels , a compliant and modern facility today is a must if one has to garner nominations from global brands and make a definite headway in the business .
“ The new factory is established to target the brands specifically . Though we are catering to almost all the prominent brands , we are yet to be nominated officially ( except for some French brands like LMA , Orchestra , Reiner , etc ); we are basically doing business with them through third party . Our ETP and WTP units are currently under construction and would be operational soon . Because of environmental reasons , a
good ETP is a must to get nominations ,” explains the CEO of the company , who is laying equal emphasis on store management and product traceability ( from warehouse to the end user ) to not only streamline operations , but also to ensure transparency and match the global best practice benchmarks .
Now when garment manufacturers are actively looking at valueaddition to command better price points , FIZ has also diversified its offerings to support and partner with the apparel makers in this enviable growth journey . “ We are also making many fashionable items like metal buttons with stone embellishments , badges with stones , gemstones in different colours , artificial pearls , etc .,” Nasir Ullah stresses adding that fancy and regular accessory apart , sewing thread too holds a lot of promise .

sewing thread still surpasses that of zippers and buttons because of the poor demand-supply scenario ,” adding that this is the reason he has decided to introduce sewing thread manufacturing in FIZ in the present year itself , for which he is planning to get machinery and equipment from Switzerland to ensure ultimate customer satisfaction .
A firm believer of the adage , ‘ Slow and steady wins the race ’, Nasir Ullah does not want to rush into things , and rather prefers to take one step at a time . “ Currently our main aim is to fill our production capacity . Once we get nominations , which we are expecting soon , we would be able to do so to a large extent . After that we would plan for the future ,” winds up the fastidious CEO positively . It is remarkable to note here that two of his accessory manufacturing units already jointly clock a turnover of more than US $ 2 million monthly , which is expected to get a significant boost once nominations start trickling in .
