Shimco to Exhibit Polyimide-Based Shims at HELI-EXPO 2013

The exhibition will be held March 5 through 7, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

MARKHAM (I-Newswire) February 22, 2013 - Shimco announced today their participation at HELI-EXPO taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada from March 5-7, 2013. In booth N6408, the company will showcase samples of its polyimide-based shims in addition to some of its extensive range of custom manufactured products of solid, laminated, edgebond, and tapered shims, laminated sheets and precision machined parts.

HELI-EXPO is where the world of vertical aviation connects. More than 20,000 helicopter industry professionals will be attending the world's largest helicopter exposition and trade show. HELI-EXPO is produced by the Helicopter Association International (HAI), of which Shimco has been a member for many years.

Designed with polyimide film material produced by DuPont and Kaneka, the Shimco polyimide-based shims are laminated on-site at the company’s manufacturing facility in Canada. Polyimide films have a unique combination of electrical, thermal, chemical and mechanical properties that withstand extreme temperature, vibration and other demanding environments, but also provide a weight-saving advantage over similar metallic products.

Peter Voss, President of Shimco, states, "We look forward to exhibiting at HELI-EXPO again this year, as it provides a unique opportunity for us to engage with many of our existing partners from industry-leading companies, and to connect with new businesses. This year we will be showcasing our polyimide-based shims, which were introduced to the market last year and have already proven successful in aircraft designs and assembly.”

HELI-EXPO attendees are invited to drop by the Shimco booth and examine the collection of shim and precision machined parts samples that will be on display.
