We anticipate a 30-40% increase in productivity, hence a very worthwhile investment. Additionally, the new machines give us a platform to scale the business as we meet growing demand for composite panel fasteners beyond Europe, in Asia and USA. We consider investment for the long term is the best strategy – read more **[HERE](https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/blog/the-merits-of-a-long-term-investment-strategy/)** ![New machines installed at bigHead Bonding Fasteners](https://bighead.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Screenshot-2022-11-07-at-14.53.47.png)New machines installed at bigHead Bonding Fasteners Share[http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2022/11/improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites?year=2022&monthnum=11&name=improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites&title=Improved%20technology%20for%20making%20bonding%20fasteners%20for%20composites](http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2022/11/improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites?year=2022&monthnum=11&name=improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites&title=Improved%20technology%20for%20making%20bonding%20fasteners%20for%20composites) [http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?status=Improved%20technology%20for%20making%20bonding%20fasteners%20for%20composites+https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2022/11/improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites?year=2022&monthnum=11&name=improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites](http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?status=Improved%20technology%20for%20making%20bonding%20fasteners%20for%20composites+https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2022/11/improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites?year=2022&monthnum=11&name=improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites) [https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2022/11/improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites?year=2022&monthnum=11&name=improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites](https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2022/11/improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites?year=2022&monthnum=11&name=improved-technology-for-making-bonding-fasteners-for-composites) [Back to other news & insights](https://bighead.co.uk/updates-and-news/) [Previous](https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2022/09/bighead-research-on-composite-panel-fastening-featured-in-fast-magazine/) [Next](https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/news/2022/11/bighead-composite-panel-fasteners-support-fuel-efficient-vehicle-competitor/) - [Background](https://bighead.co.uk/about-bighead/) - [Blog](https://bighead.co.uk/discover-bighead/blog/) - [News](https://bighead.co.uk/about-bighead/updates-and-news/) - [Terms and Conditions](https://bighead.co.uk/about-bighead/terms-and-conditions/) This site uses cookies to improve your experience.
