 Nelson Wood Shims was founded in 1960 by Wilbert Nelson. Prior to starting the shim business
Wilbert made his living for many years as a carpenter on the Iron Range in northern Minnesota.
Having used thousands of shims in his career, he was unsatisfied with the inconsistent quality of
the shims in the market. He decided to make an improvement and started his own business.
Nelson strived to make a true shim - consistent in width and length and feathered ends. The
Nelson shim was an instant hit with contractors and lumberyards.
Though Wilbert is no longer with us, his tradition lives on. Nelson Wood Shims is still making the
same true shim in a variety of sizes and styles. Our shims are cut from top quality pine and
coniferous from North America and around the world. We test them for the proper moisture
content then inspect them for quality and function before we will put the Nelson name on them.
Nelson Wood Shims is the largest shim manufacturer in North America. Our state-of-the-art high
volume facility, produces quality products for distribution nationwide. Contact Nelson Wood Shims
