Avantus Aerospace delivers one of the largest variety of laminated and solid shims in the industry, including specialized fasteners, composite assemblies, and metallic parts.
Shimtech Industries, a group of aerospace manufacturing companies in North America and Europe, will become Avantus Aerospace. After 50+ years in the industry, Avantus companies have evolved to manufacture products beyond shims.
Today, they boast a wide range of C-class and specialty machined components, including: fasteners, brackets, shims, detail assemblies, and clips, as well as an array of composite and metal bond structures.
The Avantus group includes these companies: Attewell, Lamsco, Bolsan, Fastener Technology Corp. (FTC), Pillar Seals & Gaskets (PSG), Performance Plastics (PPI), Angeles Composites (ACTI), and SDM Composites.
“Our focus has always been on providing detailed parts and composite structures with the highest quality and delivery,” said Brian Williams, CEO of Avantus Aerospace. “Now our customers are seeking a wider variety of these parts, and the Avantus name is indicative of our broader capabilities and product offerings. We look forward to continuing to grow and develop our group of businesses in the US and internationally, both organically and through acquisitions.”
Avantus Aerospace is owned by Inflexion Private Equity and Auctus Industries, both based in London, with management headquarters, located in Santa Clarita, CA. Avantus has divisions that include five manufacturing facilities in the U.S., three in Europe, and one in Mexico.
The group serves a wide variety of aerospace customers in the civil, military and aftermarket sectors, including Boeing, Airbus, Spirit AeroSystems, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, Mitsubishi, HondaJet, Collins Aerospace, Bombardier and De Havilland. Each company trades under its own name, but receives Avantus group support with business development, operational excellence, and strategic acquisitions and investments.
