bighead is launching a completely new website at www.bighead.co.uk that not only provides a fully revised product range selection resource but also includes imaginatively presented technical and application content that aims to demonstrate the benefits for designers to work closely with them from their first ideas and concepts - optimising product development, production, quality and performance when using bigHeads for fastening all types of composite materials and components.
From the home page, the "Designed Together' section is a detailed overview with case studies that show how bigHead meets its customer's challenges with collaboration from prototyping to production and beyond - creating, developing, refining and optimising lightweight composite designs by working together. The section reflects bigHead's conviction that great design is a collaborative "engineer-to-engineer' process and that lightweighting and new materials combined with novel manufacturing and fastening techniques are redefining the composites landscape.
Phil James, bigHead's Technical Director says: "The best fastener designs are always developed early in the design process. We value working together - inside the Company, with our suppliers and especially with our customers - when you team up with bigHead you can achieve the extraordinary."
Three other resource sections are also selectable from the home page. The "tecHub' section informs the designer about composite production processes for embedded, moulded-in and surface bonded bigHeads in addition to providing supporting engineering documents, including Tensile and Torque performance data as well as application downloads, drawing requests and useful FAQs. For existing users and those who know what they need from the start "The original bighead' section catalogues the full standard range of over 400 mild steel and 316 stainless steel bigHeads in an intuitive four-step selection process.
If you can't find the right product, "engineered to order' pages illustrate the possibilities for customised fasteners and the collaborative approach. The fourth section, "Discover bighead' reflects history, culture, quality and a customer list that represents leading names in industries that include automotive, marine, transportation, construction, aerospace, energy and mor".
The new website, which is fully mobile-friendly, reflects bigHead's passion for its bonding fastener product which was first introduced 50 years ago and enjoys a strong reputation through a well-proven track record with many of the world's most exacting brands. At the heart of the Company, bigHead's weld technology ensures that every fastener produced is strong, safe and reliable - backed by fully documented production testing and its ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System.
Now part of the Bossard Group headquartered in Switzerland and operating in more than 60 locations worldwide, bigHead reaches a global audience with German, French, Italian and Spanish language selection for every section and page at www.bigHead.co.uk. As well as the new website release, bigHead has also recently relocated to a new purpose built factory in Verwood, Dorset, doubling the manufacturing and design capability of its previous facility.
