Company profile
Shimifrez Inc. operates as a micro manufacturer and fabricator of parts and consumable components for all makes and models of Chemical Etching/Photo Fabrication. Its core capabilities include precision metal fabrication, precision photo etching and electro-forming, with work serving more than 20 sectors and industries. Examples of sectors named by the company include Automotive, Aerospace, Medical instrumentation and Microelectronics. Shimifrez has supported projects moving from R&D into Production, and it uses the same tooling and process for prototype and production parts so development work remains relevant to production. The company presents Precision Photo Etching & Electroforming of Thin Metal Products as a central part of its manufacturing scope. Its service menu includes precision etching, precision electroforming, metal forming, shadow mask services and laser cutting. Additional manufacturing topics listed by the company include Photo Chemical Machining, Metal Thickness Reduction, Metal Cutting Comparison, Micro forming, Sheet Metal Designs, Photo Etching Design Guide and Materials. Its market coverage includes Aerospace, Automotive, Board Level Shielding, Connectors and Contacts, Consumer Electronics, DCB Circuits, Defence, Encoder Discs and Evaporation Masks. The same market list also includes Medical, Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy, Shadow Masks, Shims, Specialty Designs, Ultra Micro Parts and Universities. A January 2021 company news item states that Shimifrez extended its AS9100 certification to include Section 8.3 Design and Development. A March 2017 company news item records a $750K expansion involving new services, new machinery and a new location. A January 2022 company news item states that Shimifrez provides shadow mask services to OLED, sputtering Solar and research institutions globally. The company also identifies certifications, Lean and Continuous Improvement, training solutions, manufacturing services, publications and downloads among its company and support resources.
Exhibits
The thin-metal offering includes precision photo etching and electroforming of thin metal products. Shimifrez fabricates parts and consumable components intended for all makes and models of Chemical Etching/Photo Fabrication equipment. Precision etching is listed as a dedicated service area, alongside precision electroforming for building thin metal components. Metal forming and Micro forming extend the fabrication range beyond etching and electroforming. Laser Cutting is another listed manufacturing service for metal-component work. Photo Chemical Machining and Metal Thickness Reduction are listed as specific process capabilities, with supporting material on metal-cutting comparison and photo-etching design guidance. Shadow mask services are part of the offering, and the company states that these services are provided to OLED, sputtering Solar and research institutions globally. The product and application lists include Board Level Shielding, Connectors and Contacts, Encoder Discs, Evaporation Masks, Shadow Masks and Shims. They also include Specialty Designs and Ultra Micro Parts, reflecting the company's focus on thin precision metal components and micro fabrication. For development programs, prototype and production parts use the same tooling and process, allowing the development process to remain directly tied to subsequent production. The combination of photo etching, electroforming, metal forming, laser cutting and shadow-mask work supports applications across the Automotive, Aerospace, Medical instrumentation and Microelectronics sectors identified by Shimifrez.
