Shims for the Aerospace Industry
SPIROL manufactures Precision Shims from laminated and solid material, for the most demanding companies in the Aerospace industry. Our Aircraft Shim products are literally used from the nose to the tail of the plane, in landing gear and everywhere in between. We custom manufacture Shims specifically for use in aircraft component assemblies, meeting exacting commercial, military and aerospace standards to provide reliable performance in harsh environments.
In addition to being certified to AS9100, SPIROL is proud to be Nadcap accredited for chemical processing and laser beam machining and cutting. Nadcap (formerly NADCAP, the National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program) is a global cooperative standards program for aerospace engineering, defense and other related industries.
