Last month, bigHead designed its 5000th customer fastener for a client’s specific application. “Since 1966, when bigHead was founded on an original design to meet a customer's need, we have been committed to innovation," says biHead's managing director, Matthew Stevens. "Driven by a long-serving team working closely with customers, we can now draw on an unrivalled reservoir of expertise and knowledge in both product design and production technology.
“Reaching this milestone of 5,000 shows that our commitment to customers and UK manufacturing remains strong. Because bigHeads are designed and manufactured in the UK, and not sub-contracted to Asia, we have total control and can respond very quickly, often producing drawings and prototypes within days. We are also able to test and optimise our products’ design and performance to meet specific customer requirements. In addition the typical minimum order quantity for custom bigHeads is set very low at just 500 fasteners.”
bigHead has consistently worked with the most demanding engineers at world class companies such as Sunseeker Yachts and Bentley Cars, but it also works with numerous small and medium sized specialist manufacturers. Since 2007 bigHead has been an approved supplier to Rolls Royce/BMW.
