our new web-siteWe have just got our web-site upgraded! It now includes a lot more information both regarding our products and the different types of areas where we deliver our technology.

Please have a look on www.bondura.no

bondura® academyWith bondura® technology’s expansion worldwide we have seen the need for more in depth know-ledge regarding design and assembly & inspection of the bondura® product line and technology. In this regard we want to give our customers the opportunity to learn more about the bondura®technology in general.

The bondura® academy consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The theoretical part will give you a better understanding of the bondura® technology, which pin goes where and the importance of a correct assembly procedure. In the practical session you can try out the demonstration pins of our most common bondura® designs.

It is highly recommended that everybody involved with assembly and disassembly of the bondura® pins, part take in one of our academy classes. It is bondura® technology’s opinion that use of any un-authoized personnel in assembly or disassembly of the bondura® pin will (at worst) void your warranty.

For more information, please see our web-site or contact us on academy@bondura.no.

nordicSummer is over and we notice that the activityreally has increased with our customers in the Nordic region. Especially within the main-tenance/aftermarket it seems to be a lot planned for the next few months.

Finland is a country that we find very interesting and who has many different industries where the bondura® pin will be of use. We are lookingforward to meet a handful of new customers in Finland by the end of the year.

We will be visiting Dyrskun in Seljord (NO) from 11th - 13th of September, HI Technology & Industry Expo in Herning (DK) from 23rd - 24th of September, as well as attending with our booth at OTD Stavanger (NO) from 21st - 22nd of October.

bondura® Survey & Maintenance ProgramWe would like to turn your attention to your fleet`s preventive maintenance program, and how our technology, line of products and knowledge will benefit your fleet in this regard. Whenever we meet with new potential customers (that be an OEM or a contractor) to discuss the importance of pin joint design of major operational equipment, it never fails to amaze us how the importance of pin joint de-sign are sometimes overlooked in major operational equipment. Usually not acknowledging all of the additional costs involved with a poorly designed pin joint, at times being more focused on material cost than equipment lifecycle. Maintenance cost, downtime, service procedures, re-certification are all typical issues with a very high price tag. In a worst-case scenario, you could have a major safety hazard on your hands. One seems to forget that the pin connects all the vital and critical joints on most major operational equipment on a drilling rig, offshore support vessel or mining equipment etc. bondura® technology now wants to provide even more of a benefit to the market by establishing and developing a bondura® survey & maintenance program to help contractors identify the critical joints that will benefit from an upgrade. This is where the bondura® value chain brings a significant benefit to your assets.

e europeThis autumn we are very busy in the various European markets. A series of meetings with French ans Spanish manufacturers will start off our major focus in those countries, and we will be looking at all new areas for the bondura® system to be fitted.

Already, our great cooperation with the rides manufacturer Vekoma has made the late parts of summer busy, and there are several interest-ing quotations made towards existing markets in Germany, Holland and the UK.

We to expect OEM’s in both Spain and France to become important parts of our ever growing port-folio before the end of the year, and to complete this autumns’ European journey, a handful of Turkish manufacturers will be visited.

For mechanical maintenance & our BSM program throughout Europe, we have teamed up withHydramech Solutions AS.
