Why Click Bond
Click Bond Expands the Possible
In 1987, our founder, a young pilot and inventor named Charlie Hutter, developed an adhesive-bonded solution, the Click Patch, to repair a leaking fuel tank rivet on his own airplane. That groundbreaking solution predetermined the course Click Bond would take for decades to come. Since then, customers around the globe, on some of the world’s most critical programs and missions, have trusted Click Bond’s adhesive-bonded fasteners for the many benefits they offer in terms of performance, safety, and cost.
At the heart of Click Bond’s work is our commitment to solve what may at first seem like impossible challenges. As part of this commitment, we do our best work crawling around with customers in their aircrafts, ships, or other vehicles to fully understand the challenges and opportunities they face. This practical, holistic approach fosters a unique environment of customer-inspired innovation. We don’t just sell parts; we make a difference for our customers, building relationships with them for the life of their programs.
Click Bond has remained at the forefront of technical design and manufacturing, not by doing what’s obvious and easy, but by doing what’s novel and challenging. The value our customers derive from partnering with Click Bond stems from our understanding that we must deliver compelling solutions to meaningfully enhance their competitiveness in a technically and commercially challenging global business environment.
Our customers and the missions they support require that we’re never satisfied with the status quo. We constantly co-create solutions that push the bounds of what’s possible.
