Genesis MFG supplies shim stock in the UAE and manufactures custom shims at our facility in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah. We provide shim sheets and rolls, precision slotted shims, and custom-cut shim plates in stainless steel, brass, carbon steel, and other metals. Maintenance teams, OEMs and contractors across the UAE use our shims to align, level and space machinery accurately.
What Is Shim Stock?
Shim stock is thin, precision-rolled metal sheet or foil with a tightly controlled thickness. It is cut into shims: thin pieces placed between parts to fill gaps, correct alignment, or set a precise distance. Shims are used wherever machinery must sit exactly level or in line, such as pump and motor bases, gearboxes, turbines, bearings, and structural joints.
Shim Products We Supply
- Shim stock sheets and rolls: precision-thickness sheets and coils for cutting shims on site.
- Pre-cut slotted shims: U-slotted machinery shims that slide around bolts without removing the equipment, in standard sizes and thicknesses.
- Custom shim plates: cut to your drawing by laser, waterjet or CNC, with holes, slots and any outline.
- Laminated (peelable) shims: bonded layers that peel off to adjust thickness on site.
- Shim washers and spacers: round shims for shafts, bearings and bolted joints.
- Shim kits: assorted thicknesses for maintenance and alignment teams.

Custom Shim Manufacturer in Sharjah
As a custom shim manufacturer, we make shims to your exact size, thickness, and hole pattern. Send a drawing, a sample, or the dimensions, and we cut shims by laser, waterjet, or CNC, depending on the material and tolerance. We deburr every shim so it sits flat, and mark the thickness for easy identification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What thicknesses of shim stock do you supply?
We supply shim stock from [0.025 mm] up to [3 mm], depending on the material. Contact us for thicknesses outside this range.
What is the difference between shim stock and slotted shims?
Shim stock is sheet or roll material that you cut yourself. Slotted shims are pre-cut with a U-shaped slot, so they can be fitted around bolts without lifting the machine.
Which shim material should I use?
Stainless steel suits corrosive or outdoor environments. Brass is easy to cut and non-sparking. Carbon steel is a cost-effective choice for general machinery alignment.
Can you make shims to my drawing?
Yes. We make custom shims in any outline, with holes and slots, from your drawing, sample, or dimensions.
Do you deliver shims across the UAE?
Yes. We deliver from Sharjah to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and all emirates, and export to the wider MENA region.
