? Stronger Together — FIA26 Launch Film
Engineering Every Link in the Chain
Aerospace assembly is only as strong as its weakest link. Program, parts, processes, and people must connect from the start.
Since 1987, Click Bond’s adhesive-bonded fasteners have proven themselves on the most demanding aerospace and defense platforms in the world. But as the industry scales at unprecedented rates, one question has emerged: how do we build faster and more consistently, without compromising quality?
At Farnborough 2026, we debut Stronger Together — our trusted fasteners, amplified by technology that makes that proven foundation faster, more consistent, and fully traceable at scale.
Trusted fasteners. Smarter processes. One integrated system.

Experience the Launch
Three pillars. One system. Every link engineered.
Proven Bonded Fasteners
The foundation upon which everything else is built.
Four decades of flight-critical, commercially available adhesive-bonded fasteners trusted on the most demanding platforms in the world. More than 5,000 products — structural hardware, systems installation, adhesives, and tools.
Drill less. Less risk. Bonded attachments reduce rework variability and safeguard structural integrity.
Automated Bonding Technology
Removing the variable that has always mattered most.
Surface preparation variability is the leading root cause of bonded fastener issues in production and sustainment. ABT eliminates it through laser precision, automated adhesive dispensation, and a scalable system built for the factory floor, the depot, and the field.

ABT improves quality and throughput while minimizing human error — making it ideal for high-volume and high-tolerance applications.
World Premiere at Farnborough
The ABT Desktop (CBA-200) and Handheld (CBA-300) debut at Stand #3731. Full suite available: CBA-100 Part Prep Cart, CBA-200 Desktop, CBA-300 Handheld.
Digital Solutions
Fewer errors. Faster installations. Every step verified.
The aerospace assembly workforce is in an experience-level decline while the complexity of their work is growing. Digital Solutions closes that gap with XR-guided work instructions, real-time process validation, and built-in traceability — from the first fastener placed to the last.

Notable Engagements
PMA260 · DoD Mentor-Protégé · FRC Southeast
Early-phase engagement in an assembly solution — hardware + software. Part count and average assembly times sharply reduced.
The Science Behind Every Bond.
Acquired by Click Bond in January 2026, Brighton Science brings the science of the surface itself into our thinking. Their expertise in surface intelligence — wettability data, bond readiness confirmation, adhesion measurement — strengthens the foundation every bonded fastener depends on: knowing the surface is truly ready.
Farnborough 2026 marks the first time Brighton Science and Click Bond appear together at a major event. Their team is at Stand 3731. Come meet them.
Surface Intelligence Learning Center
Adjacent to our Proven Bonded Fasteners display, Brighton Science runs a hands-on learning center. Understand what surface intelligence means in practice — and why knowing your surface is the first step to a perfect bond.
BConnect — R&D Preview in the Digital Solutions Zone
In our Digital Solutions zone, Brighton Science previews BConnect on an aircraft winglet — an early look at how surface intelligence data could flow directly into the digital assembly process. A preview of where we’re taking the data layer of assembly.
