Kuraray is Japan’s leading company in hook and loop fasteners

MAGIC TAPE™ is a trademark of Kuraray Co., Ltd. for its hook and loop fastener

In Japan, Kuraray first began production and sales in 1960 under the trade name MAGIC TAPE™, which means "MAGIC TAPE™" in Japanese and means that two pieces of cloth are snugly attached to each other and can be put on and taken off at will.

The name "MAGIC TAPE™" spread nationwide when it was adopted as a fastener for the headrest covers of passenger seats on the bullet train, which made its spectacular debut in 1964, and attracted a great deal of attention.

Since its launch, MAGIC TAPE™ has remained Japan’s leading brand of hook and loop fasteners, widely used across industries for over half a century.
