About PP Shim

It’s family and we care.

PP Shim Co Pty Limited has been in business for over 40 years; founded in 1981 by Gerhard Blaschka, PP Shim Co was initially known as Promet Products. Gerhard was a Toolmaker by trade and used his expertise and manufactured dies to produce quality welch plugs and associated parts. The welch plug business expanded quickly and before long Promet Products quality metal components company as Repco, Sunraysia and ARB just to name a few.

In 1995 Promet Products sold the welch plug side of the business and also acquired the Wildash Shim Co which resulted in the name change to PP Shim Co.

The year 2000 saw the retirement of Gerhard and fellow Directors Bill and Ingrid Code. Keeping the business in the family was the dream of Gerhard which saw the introduction of his son Robert and nephew Peter Code into the business. An inspired vision and an injection of youth resulted in the growth of PP Shim Co.

Over time our product range has expanded and developed through constant consultation with our customers, including steel shims, copper shims, brass shims, plastic shims, and slotted shims.
