Innovative, efficient, and holistic solutions – that is Bossard’s approach. Our products and services simplify and optimize processes across all fastening solutions. Sustainability is an integral ambition of our business model.
We help our customers exploit potentials. Avoiding future costs and optimizing individual products begins in the design phase and continues through the structuring of supply chains and on to the production processes. Time and time again, we find that this approach enables our customers to measurably increase their productivity. That is why we talk about “Proven Productivity”. This approach also helps reduce the environmental impact, because streamlining means using materials, energy, and production capacities carefully and in a targeted manner. Experience shows that the efficient use of resources, optimized product designs, and simplified logistics processes lead to less waste and lower emissions.

Our customers develop high-quality products whose manufacturing poses various fastening requirements. With our six Assembly Technology Expert (ATE) services, we offer tried-and-true solutions that our experts test and implement in collaboration with our customers. Services range from custom designing fastening elements and streamlining parts lists to conducting factory tours. We scrutinize and optimize production workflows and sustainably reduce production times and costs, which in turn boosts our customers’ competitiveness.
In addition, we offer a variety of training courses and practical seminars based on our many years of experience; all of them can be individually customized. Training courses give employees greater confidence in their workflows, which in turn leads to fewer errors in the manufacturing process and thus less waste. With their multistage approach from design and optimization to training, ATE services from Bossard provide comprehensive support for process improvement, product reliability, and innovation
In the world of Industry 4.0, our Smart Factory Logistics (SFL) is a core element for profitable growth. Reliable supplier management reduces process costs and administrative tasks while guaranteeing the security of supply at all times. The more precise and faster factory logistics is, the more competitive a business becomes. While our customers focus on their core competencies, we automate their B- and C-parts management, thus providing for a leaner product range and a seamless supply of materials.
Thanks to SFL, all deliveries from the individual suppliers are received and bundled directly at Bossard. The subsequent consolidated delivery to our customers is at the heart of our efficient procurement process. Inventory is controlled in real time, and materials are delivered directly to the assembly stations thanks to smart order management.
Smart Factory Assembly (SFA) represents the manual assembly system of the future, taking advantage of the benefits provided by digitalization and the Internet of Things. The latest solution from Bossard offers innovation with numerous benefits. First, interactive work instructions guide employees through the entire assembly process, automatically documenting all work steps. Updates to existing assembly instructions are generated centrally and can be implemented in production immediately.
This not only reduces the number of errors, which is also resource-saving; it also greatly simplifies management of product variations. Second, all the relevant assembly tools are connected to the system. Workstations are easier to set up and tools can be calibrated and configured faster.
