In 1974, 4 gentlemen in the sheet metal industry decided to start a company manufacturing sheet metal parts and a new type of material called "Laminated Sheet Metal".  The name of the company was "Blaisdell East", located in Norwalk, Connecticut, as they were the East Coast partner of Blaisdell located in California.  The company started with just a small order for military steel insoles and a lot of determination.  Shortly after forming the new partnership, they had a chance to start manufacturing stamped sheet metal parts for Sikorsky Aircraft.  The relationship with Sikorsky blossomed over the years and other aerospace customers were entered into the growing business.

In 1985, the company name change to Beta Shim Company.  Over the next couple of years, 3 owners of Beta Shim Company were bought out by the 4th owner, John McCue.  By this time, Beta Shim Company's primary customer was Sikorsky Aircraft, but they also had Lockheed Martin, Pratt & Whitney, Hamilton Sundstrand, Northrop Grumman, Electric Boat, BMW, and many more government contracts.

In 1995 John McCue moved Beta Shim Company to Shelton Connecticut, in a 20,000 sqft building, to be closer to their primary customer Sikorsky Aircraft, located in Stratford Connecticut.  Over the next 10 years, Beta Shim doubled in employment and revenue adding over 500 customers to their yearly revenue.  The Beta Shim catalog now includes Laminated Sheet Metal, Military Stainless Steel Insoles, Metal Stampings, Milling Machining, Bushings, Light Assembly, and Military Packaging.

Logistics History

In 1995, Beta Shim Company was selling to the US Government which required Mil Spec packaging.  There was an opportunity for Beta Shim to acquire a packaging house based out of Norwalk Connecticut called "Pack Rite".  Over the years, Beta Shim received numerous packaging jobs from various companies.

In November of 2003, Sikorsky Aircraft came to the door steps of Beta Shim looking for a solution for their Spares department to have a supplier perform Mil Spec packaging for their growing division.  Beta Shim took on the task with just 3 packers and 500 sqft.  Within the next couple of months, packaging grew so rapidly that it was time to move the packaging to a different building.  The packaging department moved a few building over in Shelton in a 35,000 sqft building.  The following August, Sikorsky cam to Beta Shim looking for another solution.  This time they wanted to outsource their Receiving Department.  We agreed to take on this task and started the next day.  After 1 year of starting this new task, the packaging division had become its' own entity outside the normal scope of Beta Shim.

In July of 2006, Beta Shim Company Packaging Division became Beta Logistics LLC.  We legally separated the two companies and moved to Milford Connecticut into a 50,000 sqft facility with room to expand into 600,000 sqft.

It has been a long and winding road to get to where we are now and we look forward to every curve that might lie ahead of us.
