Global expansion Shimco is rapidly expanding its North America presence through a recent acquisition by Avantus Aerospace and planned growth in Casablanca, Morocco, with a target to double Cambridge plant capacity by 2025. This signals growing capacity and regional coverage, creating cross-border supply opportunities for aerospace OEMs, Tier 1s, and MROs seeking near-shore and cost-effective sourcing.

Strategic contracts Recent secured long-term contracts with Boeing and Airbus, plus ongoing supply initiatives under BMS7-335 Rev. N, indicate a validated capability in high-precision shims and machined parts for major OEMs. There is a sales opening to expand into additional program requirements, coatings, and sensor integration for high-wear aerospace applications.

Vertical integration Nadcap chemical processing accreditation and ITAR compliant, along with AS9100D certification and Canadian Controlled Goods registration, position Shimco as a turnkey supplier for complex aerospace assemblies. This enables upsell to customers seeking single-source reliability, quality, and compliance across manufacture, coatings, and materials.

New geographic ares Casablanca and broader Moroccan facilities open near-shore capabilities in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, offering competitive pricing and lead-time advantages. This creates opportunities to target regional defense, space, and OEM programs that require local manufacturing footprints.

Technology and quality The combination of precision shims, specialized coatings, and wireless sensor capabilities positions Shimco to address high-wear and sensor-enabled components. Sales opportunities exist in expanding coatings services, material solutions, and smart part integrations for aerospace, space, and defense programs.
