It all started in 1985 when Jim Fischer invented a process, obtained a patent and developed a production line to produce Jif Grip, one of the first hook and loop fastening systems on the market. Because of the quality of the product and greatly enhanced efficiency of the manufacturing process, he was approached by a world wide company who purchased his process and owned the patent for 17 years.
