Pilgrim Aerospace
Spaceship21 built Pilgrim Aerospace Fasteners a CMS-powered corporate site with product catalogs, line-card exports, RFQs, and technical SEO.
Overview
Pilgrim Aerospace Fasteners needed a modern digital presence that matched a 90+ year manufacturing brand serving aerospace, defense, medical, and space buyers. Spaceship21 built a Next.js + Payload CMS site so their team can manage products, line-card specs, news, and careers themselves, with RFQ capture, PDF/CSV line-card exports, certifications, and structured SEO for a B2B manufacturing audience.
Project Details
The Challenge
Pilgrim needed a site that represented a legacy aerospace manufacturer to OEMs and defense buyers, while giving internal teams a way to keep product, line-card, and compliance content current without engineering help:
- •Manufacturing catalogs and NAS/MS/AN line-card data go stale quickly when edited by hand
- •RFQs had to reach the right sales contacts with company and spend context, not a generic contact form
- •Buyers expect certifications (AS9100, ITAR, DFARS, ISO 13485) to be visible and downloadable
- •The brand serves four distinct markets: aerospace, defense, medical, and space, each needing its own story
- •SEO and structured data matter for a B2B manufacturer competing on trust and exposure
