| Burrs to Velcro® |
-- Velcro® went on sale for the first time on April 2nd, 1978. It was named with two French words – Vel for velvet and Cro for crochet. Velcro® was invented by George de Mestral in the 1940s while hunting in the Jura mountains, Switzerland. A Swiss engineer, Mr. de Mestral, noticed the tiny hooks of the cockleburs stuck on his pants and in his dog's fur, and he wondered how they attached themselves and if he could replicate and commercialize it.
