As global markets react to shifting trade policies and political tensions, businesses across the highways, utilities and construction sectors are feeling the pinch.
Import tariffs and supply chain disruptions are causing material prices to skyrocket – some by as much as a staggering 300%.
For those relying on overseas products for ironwork seating and levelling, the financial impact is immediate and severe.
SHIMPAC® offers a reliable, UK-manufactured alternative – free from the uncertainty of international tariffs, with a commitment to fair, stable pricing.
Tariff-Free, Risk-Free Supply
As a result of being sourced and manufactured entirely in the UK, SHIMPAC® materials are not subject to global tariffs at any stage of the supply chain.
Where other systems may face unpredictable cost increases, delays at customs, and fluctuations in pricing due to overseas manufacturing and transport, SHIMPAC® remains stable, accessible, and dependable.


With no reliance on imported components, clients are shielded from trade policy changes and can move forward with confidence, not contingency plans.
Fair Pricing in a Volatile Market
While many materials have seen dramatic price increases, SHIMPAC® aims to keep any price movement below the rate of inflation. Whilst not always achievable, having full control of the supply chain – from sourcing, to manufacturing, through to delivery – puts SHIMPAC® in a strong position to offer best value.
The company’s UK base means:
- No import tariffs
- No customs delays
- Shorter lead times
- Transparent, predictable costs
In today’s climate, that level of control and reliability is not just desirable- it’s essential.


Budget-Friendly Without Cutting Corners
SHIMPAC® proves that cost-effective doesn’t have to mean compromise. In fact, it bucks the trend of ‘cheaper’ meaning lower quality.
Compared to traditional or imported seating systems:
- Installation is around 40% cheaper
- Labour costs are reduced with a one-man installation
- Roads can reopen within 40 minutes
- Minimal maintenance is needed thanks to long-term durability
In a World of Rising Costs, SHIMPAC® Stays Grounded
As imported systems become less predictable and more expensive, SHIMPAC® remains a constant – a British-made product offering smart engineering, rapid installation, long-term durability, and protection from global price volatility.
