Bossard Americas Celebrates Grand Opening of Silicon Valley Design Center

Bossard Americas proudly opened the doors to the Bossard Design Center (BDC) in Milpitas, California. This facility is the first of its kind and as a result has been highly anticipated by suppliers and customers alike.

The BDC is a 10,000 square foot facility focused on finding and designing the right solutions for the customer. This new investment is aligned to help all the way from design to testing on a final assembly. This full service offering starts with a 1,500 square foot seminar space for up to 85 participants. Customers are then engaged with hands-on experience with a wide variety of fastening solutions as well as installation practices. In addition to that, Bossard also offers a well-rounded testing environment. This includes the ability to test and study coefficient of friction data on a state of the art SCHATZ ANALYSE machine, as well as additional torque/tension data with additional information. The BDC also has the equipment needed to run complete vibration testing to simulate what happens in a bolted joint under varying degrees of vibration.
