SHIMS - Lominated and Solid

FORD Aerospace is a SPIROL Group company specialising in precision shim solutions and machined aerospace components. The core product portfolio covers laminated shims (peelable, build-to-thickness shims used for precise gap control and tolerance management in aircraft assembly), solid shims, and hybrid shims, alongside machined aerospace components.

The business serves European and global aerospace and defence accounts, supporting applications where dimensional accuracy and reliable fit-up are critical — think airframe structures, landing gear, engine mounting interfaces, and similar assembly-critical joints. Approvals to relevant aerospace specifications (such as ABS1507 for laminated shims) underpin the offering to OEM and tier-one customers.
