## About pgb-Europe & the Project

pgb-Europe is a **leading specialist in fastening solutions for construction and industry**. With more than 70 years of experience, an extensive portfolio of over 30,000 stocked products, multiple strong brands, and advanced logistics capabilities, pgb serves professionals, distributors, retailers, and industrial customers across Europe. **Their mission is to make collaboration simple and efficient through technical expertise, reliable supply chains, and innovative digital services**.

As pgb continued to expand its product offering and digital services, the company needed a modern platform capable of presenting complex product information, supporting multiple customer segments, and strengthening its position as a digitally enabled partner.

## The Challenge

Managing a **large and specialized product portfolio** presents significant challenges. pgb offers thousands of fastening solutions for steel construction, timber construction, anchoring systems, industrial applications, and retail distribution. **Communicating this vast catalog clearly** while maintaining accurate product information across channels requires a scalable and structured digital foundation.

In addition, pgb wanted to provide customers and distributors with **easier access to product information, technical expertise, digital ordering capabilities, and business-critical data such as real-time inventory availability**. Their digital presence needed to evolve from being primarily informational into a platform that actively supports customer relationships and commercial growth.

The marketing team also required greater flexibility to publish industry insights, product innovations, technical documentation, and market-specific content while maintaining consistency across the entire website.

## The Solution

To support these ambitions, pgb implemented a **modern, content-driven digital platform**. By leveraging a headless CMS architecture, the company gained the flexibility to manage structured content efficiently while delivering fast and engaging digital experiences to different audiences.

Structured content models were created for product groups, brands, industry solutions, technical expertise, partner services, and knowledge articles. This enables pgb to manage large amounts of content consistently while providing visitors with intuitive navigation and a clear view of the company's extensive offering.

**The platform highlights pgb's digital capabilities**, including webshop integration, customer-specific pricing, real-time stock information, PIM-driven product data management, etc. **These capabilities strengthen digital collaboration between pgb and its network of professional partners.**

For the marketing and product teams, the new platform offers a user-friendly environment where content can be created, maintained, and optimized without relying heavily on developers. This improves agility while ensuring consistent brand communication across all markets.
