Avantus

Inflexion partnered with Auctus Industries to back the secondary buyout of the global leader in gap management, Shimtech, in 2015. Since then the business has evolved to manufacture a broader range of aerospace related products resulting in the business being renamed Avantus Aerospace in 2020.

The company

Avantus manufactures a wide range of aerospace C-class components such as fasteners, brackets, laminated and solid shims, detailed parts and assemblies and clips.

The Inflexion difference

Since the buyout, the company has continued to take market share through new customer acquisition by deeper penetration in both commercial and military contracts, and has driven significant production efficiencies throughout its manufacturing base. The company has also grown through acquisitions including the acquisitions of Fastener Technology Corporation, Fastener Innovation Technology Inc and California Screw Products Corporation, which expanded the product range and increased the Group’s military exposure.

Our focus has always been on providing detailed parts with the highest quality and delivery. 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.

Brian Williams,

CEO, Avantus
