The PP Shim Story
PP Shim Co Pty Limited has been in business for over 35 years. Founded in 1981 by Gerhard Blaschka, initially known as Promet Products, Gerhard, a Toolmaker by trade, used his expertise to manufacture dies for quality welch plugs and associated parts. The business quickly grew, securing clients such as Repco, Sunraysia, and ARB.
In 1995, Promet Products sold the welch plug division and acquired Wildash Shim Co, which led to the name change to PP Shim Co.
In 2000, Gerhard and fellow Directors Bill and Ingrid Code retired, with Gerhard’s son Robert and nephew Peter Code taking over. This family transition sparked the growth of PP Shim Co, bringing fresh vision and energy.
Over time, our product range expanded through ongoing customer consultation, offering steel shims, copper shims, brass shims, plastic packing shims, and slotted shims. Today, PP Shim Co stocks Australia’s most comprehensive range of shim products and offers custom-cut shims tailored to any shape or size.
Based in Sydney, we partner with freight companies to deliver products nationwide with same-day, overnight, or road freight services.
Our customers enjoy exceptional service and satisfaction. We go the extra mile.
