Trusted Fasteners + Smarter Processes = One Complete Aerospace Assembly System

Aerospace assembly is only as strong as its weakest link. Program, parts, processes, and people must all be connected from the start, delivering optimal performance and working together seamlessly.

In recent years, as growth within the industry has surged at unprecedented levels, one question has emerged:

How do we build at scale more efficiently and consistently, without compromising quality along the way?

Click Bond now has the answer: by engineering every link in the chain.

It starts with a solid foundation: the adhesive bond.

For nearly 40 years, we’ve operated with the belief that holes don’t belong on an aircraft.

It started in 1987, when Click Bond began manufacturing elegant and innovative solutions that use the power of adhesive bonding specifically developed to make our partners’ designs lighter, stronger, faster, and safer, all while supporting and expanding what’s possible for our customers.

Adhesive bonding extends your platform’s life and streamlines the manufacturing process. With products ranging from rivetless nutplates — which can be installed 68% faster than riveted products and require no installation holes — to solutions that can withstand extremes of shock, temperature, and vibration, all while preventing galvanic and atmospheric corrosion.

Adhesive-bonded fastening solutions provide the following benefits:

• Improved cycle time
• Reduced foreign object debris (FOD)
• Lower production costs
• Simplified installation and maintenance
• Prevention of corrosion
• Weight reduction
• Reduced errors and rework
• Preservation of structural integrity

Today, Click Bond’s adhesive-bonded fasteners have proven themselves on the most demanding, high-performance aerospace and defense platforms in the world.

For nearly 40 years, we’ve been solving our customers’ biggest challenges. Now, in meeting the increased demands of the modern aerospace industry for scalable, repeatable results, we start with this solid foundation: our trusted line of more than 5,000 adhesive-bonded products sold worldwide.

Adding speed, repeatability, and precision for high-rate manufacturing.

At Click Bond, we’ve always employed customer-driven innovation. We’ve listened to our customers and the demands of the industry, and, in response, we’ve made a significant investment in strengthening our bond — with our parts and our customers. Building upon the exceptional quality of our adhesive-bonded fasteners, we’ve developed the next generation of bonding solutions.

At the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow, Click Bond is excited to debut our Stronger Together system — pairing our proven fasteners with technology that makes that foundation even faster, more consistent, and fully traceable at scale.

The System Has Three Pillars

Pillar One: Proven Bonded Fasteners. This is the solid foundation everything else is built on — almost 40 years of flight-critical, commercially available adhesive-bonded fasteners, trusted on the world’s most demanding platforms. Bonded fasteners simplify installation and maintenance, improve cycle time, lower production costs, avoid errors and rework, and prevent the galvanic corrosion and structural weak points that drilled holes leave behind.

Pillar Two: Automated Bonding Technology. Surface preparation variability has long been the leading root cause of bonded fastener issues in production and sustainment. Our new Automated Bonding Technology (ABT) removes that variability, combining laser surface prep and precise adhesive dispensation in as little as 30 seconds — making bonding seven times faster than manual methods, with quality data to match. FIA2026 marks the world premiere of the ABT Handheld (CBA-300), joining the ABT Desktop (CBA-200) and Part Prep Cart (CBA-100) as a complete suite ready to deploy on a production floor today.

Pillar Three: XR Digital Solutions. The aerospace assembly workforce faces an experience-level decline even as the complexity of the work grows. Our Digital Solutions close that gap. Mixed-reality work instructions are projected directly onto the program surface, guiding placement, validating installation, and building in traceability every step of the way. The results speak for themselves: At Vertical Aerospace, digital-guided installation took the assembly of 9,500 bonded fasteners on the VX4 from three months down to five days.

Trusted fasteners, automated bonding, and digital guidance combine to make our Stronger Together system.

Click Bond showcases an exciting new asset in Brighton Science.

With the recent acquisition of Brighton Science, a Click Bond company, we’re highlighting our latest investment in the science of the bond itself — surface intelligence and bond-readiness data, which sits alongside the Stronger Together platform.

Brighton Science will team with Click Bond at Farnborough this year, for the first time ever, to provide an R & D preview demonstration of its BConnect platform, to give visitors a glimpse of where Click Bond will eventually take surface intelligence next — incorporating it into the digital workflow.

Where to Find Us

Click Bond occupies two stands in Hall 3, right across the aisle from each other:

• Stand 3731 is home to the Stronger Together debut — live system demonstrations, the ABT Handheld world premiere, the Brighton Science learning center, and private demo sessions for your program leads and engineers.
• Stand 3730 is hosted by Fastavia, Ltd., our authorized UK distributor and technical representative, alongside Click Bond’s global distribution network from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. Come see live adhesive-bonding demonstrations and connect with the representative closest to your program.

Demonstrations run every half hour, Monday through Friday, July 20–24. On Tuesday, July 21, join us for a networking happy hour and a customized giveaway experience from 14:00–16:00.

We’d like you and your team to see the Stronger Together system first, with dedicated time set aside just for you. Scan the QR code on our show materials or book a private VIP demonstration in advance — we’re reserving time now for engineers and program leads who want an in-depth look before the show floor gets busy.

Click Bond believes that holes don’t belong in an aircraft, and variability doesn’t belong in assembly.

Trusted fasteners. Smarter processes. One complete system, engineered link by link.

We look forward to seeing you at Farnborough and showing you how we can change your hole approach, together.
