Adhesive-bonded fasteners and structural hardware for aerospace and defense
Click Bond manufactures adhesive-bonded fasteners and structural hardware for aerospace, defense, space, and industrial applications. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward manufacturing operations (CNC, CMMS, Ignition SCADA, SolidWorks/CATIA CAD) and quality control (Keyence vision systems, Minitab statistical analysis), with enterprise data tools (Epicor ERP, Power BI) handling production planning and cost visibility. Active hiring spans manufacturing (largest department), engineering, and operations, signaling capacity expansion alongside ongoing process automation—projects include SCADA system rollout, automated inspection setup, and multi-line optimization.
Click Bond is a 501–1,000-person manufacturer headquartered in Carson City, Nevada, with a second facility in Watertown, Connecticut. The company offers a catalog of over 5,000 products, including rivetless nutplates, adhesives, fasteners, brackets, and installation tools designed to reduce weight and hole count in aircraft, defense systems, spacecraft, and industrial equipment. Manufacturing represents the bulk of headcount and active hiring, reflecting the capital- and labor-intensive nature of precision fastener production. Current operational focus centers on reducing downtime, controlling costs, and preventing supply disruptions—reflected in projects spanning SCADA deployment, automated inspection, warehouse autonomy, and strategic sourcing.
Click Bond operates CNC equipment, Ignition SCADA systems, Allen-Bradley and Siemens industrial controls, and Keyence automated vision inspection. Production data flows through Epicor ERP and Minitab quality analysis.
Click Bond produces adhesive-bonded fasteners, structural hardware (nutplates, bushings, sleeves), installation systems (studs, brackets, standoffs), adhesives and sealants, and specialized tools. Products serve aerospace, defense, space exploration, automotive, marine, and unmanned vehicle applications.
