Years ago, Scott Peters, an inventor and engineer, had a conversation with his mother, Nancy, an occupational therapist. Nancy shared how her brother, Uncle Dave, struggled to zip up his jackets because of dexterity challenges. Scott, always looking for ways to solve problems, wondered if there could be a better solution to something as fundamental as a zipper.

Scott and Nancy got to work and built their first prototype a zipper with magnets glued to the base. While the prototype didn’t work, it opened their eyes to the potential of using magnets to create a more accessible zipper. They realized the primary struggle was starting the zipper: aligning the base and securing it properly. But making magnets work to solve this issue would require both precision and innovation.

The duo partnered up with an experienced designer and friend David to bring MagZip to reality! The team worked through many iterations to design, prototype, build, test and then start over. Each attempt brought them closer to their goal, but progress was slow and painstaking. They faced challenges in aligning the magnetic base to ensure it connected seamlessly, maintaining the strength of the connection while keeping the zipper lightweight, and finding materials that balanced durability with functionality. Despite the challenges, the team’s belief in their vision never wavered.

After countless iterations, their hard work paid off, and the MagZip zipper was born. Its patented magnetic base made zipping up effortless, especially for people with limited dexterity.
