About us
The Artus Philosophy
From our company’s beginning in 1941 to the present, we’ve understood our responsibilities as a custom shim manufacturer working to specifications down to thousandths of an inch. Businesses rely on Artus shims and gaskets for their prototyping and production needs. There is no room for error. As such, we value precision and solution-based customer service above all.
We strive to keep tolerances tight and provide reliable, precision-cut shims and gaskets for all our customers. Our team works diligently to make sure you get what you need promptly. We carry a variety of materials which allows us to meet the needs of a wide range of industries quickly without having to source new supplies.
We also strive to provide attentive and helpful service. We will work with you to give you the knowledge you need when selecting the correct shims. Have a design problem that you need help with? We have over 80 years of experience manufacturing shims under our belt. We can help you find a solution.
We recognize our strength is in our extensive industry experience and the relationships we build with our customers, employees, and community. It is our duty to deliver precision shims, gaskets, and shim stock on time and to spec. We also must pass on our knowledge to the next generation. We have remained family-owned and operated since 1941 and understand this well.
It is our duty to give back. In addition to supporting over 30 charities, each week individuals from SINAI schools with learning or developmental disabilities join us at the factory for vocational training to learn important life and job skills.
Our History
The Color Tells the Thickness
After completing over one million projects, Artus is still looking to improve our products and processes. We continue innovating in order to increase quality, reduce costs, and deliver on time.
A notable example of Artus’ innovation is in our uniquely color-coded plastic and aluminum shim stock. When a part on your assembly line needs the correct positioning, you and your employees can save time on measuring your shim stock one by one.
The color tells the thickness. You’ll be surprised how much time our color-coded shims save manufacturers and distributors. Together, we reduce errors and save by allowing you and your employees to quickly identify shims of different materials and thicknesses.
Our experience in shim and gasket applications powers our innovations, allowing us to provide the best service on time, again and again. Contact us for your shim solutions.
