Whether your shim need is an emergency, a single order, or a consistent shipment,
we will provide you with a custom shim solution.
Since 1941, Artus has helped precisely position the machines and tools depended on by distributors, manufacturers, and engineers worldwide.
Shim Stock
The highest quality shim stock in color-coded plastic, color-coded aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and low carbon steel (cold rolled). You can easily cut shim stock into shims and gaskets with the exact specifications you require using a ruler, diver, and ordinary scissors. Artus shim stock is remarkably durable, rust-proof, nonhygroscopic, impervious to oil, and economical. We also offer the innovative use of color-coded material.
Brass, stainless steel, and low carbon are available exclusively requesting a quote.
Shims & Gaskets
Relied on by industry leaders worldwide for precision alignment and sealing, Artus is your shim and gasket expert. We are best known for manufacturing custom shims and gaskets as thin as 0.0005” and our color-coded materials.
We’ll produce gaskets to your exact specifications. Send us your blueprint, and we’ll deliver the results (in any shape and size). Depending on your application, choose from plastic, vegetable fiber, cork composition, or asbestos-substitute gasket material.

A leader in the production of high-quality, economical shims, Artus Motor Mount Slotted Shims are built for improving machine alignment and performance. We use the finest grade materials for our plastic and metal shims, with color-coded plastic, color-coded aluminum, and stainless steel.
The mini-chest slotted shim set includes 20 of each of the following thicknesses: 0.002″, 0.003″, 0.004″, 0.005″, 0.10″, 0.015″, 0.020″, 0.030″, and 0.060″.
Slitter Tooling
Artus offers a full line of quality Slitter Tooling and supplies that includes color-coded slitter shims, slitter knives and spacers, overarm tooling, and synthetic rubber stripper rings. We also manufacture polypropylene tape.
We use the finest quality materials to ensure reliable, precise slitter tooling and supplies. Our products are custom designed and manufactured to your exact tolerances and specifications.
Our slitter shims are color-coded to help you save on labor. The color tells the thickness, making distinguishing between thicknesses quick and easy.

The rolls are 60 yards, come in four widths, and have two adhesive options to choose from. Artus’s polypropylene tape offers the unique benefit of leaving behind no residue or stain when removed from slit metal or slitter knives.
