Overview
Pearson Manufacturing supports automotive OEMs and aftermarket suppliers by providing access to high-precision manufacturing — whether done in-house or through our certified Canadian partners. From quick-turn prototyping to scalable production, we act as your sourcing and fulfillment partner.
Quick Specs
| Workstream | Best For | Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prototype / Dev | Fit/functional first articles & mule parts | Fast | Quick-turn + DFM; flexible materials/finishes |
| PPAP / Pre-Prod | Submission lots & capability studies | Medium | FAI/PPAP docs, control plans, gage R&R (by request) |
| Production / Service | Ongoing builds & spares | Medium | Kanban/VMI, labeling, packaging per spec |
| Aftermarket Kits | Assemblies & performance parts | Fast | Kitting, torquing, instructions, branding support |
Capabilities We Provide Access To
- Tight-tolerance CNC milling and turning of cast, billet, and fabricated parts
- Robotic & manual welding for structural components and brackets
- Surface grinding and precision honing for flatness/bore control
- Tube/plate processing (laser/waterjet by routing) and brake forming
- Threading, tapping, and assembly prep (helicoils, studs, inserts)
- Kitting, subassemblies, torque/mark, and labeling per BOM
- Inspection & documentation per OEM/PPAP requirements
DFM & PPAP Guidance
- Define a stable A-B-C datum scheme; call out only CTQ features with GD&T to control cost and lead time.
- Prefer standard radii, tool sizes, and thread classes (e.g., 2A/2B, 6H/6g); specify gage method.
- Avoid deep, narrow pockets without relief; provide tool access or allow secondary ops (e.g., EDM) as needed.
- For weldments, include weld symbols, sequence notes, and post-weld machining allowances.
- Specify finish/spec revision (e.g., zinc-nickel thickness, masking areas) and edge-breaks on sealing faces.
- If PPAP is required, include level, control plan template, and any gage R&R / capability expectations.
We’ll review your model/drawing, control-plan expectations, and finish specs, then confirm achievable tolerances and the right routing (in-house or partner) before kickoff.

Automotive FAQs
Do you provide full PPAP packages?
Yes. We support PPAP (Levels 1–5), FAI, control plans, capability summaries, and certificate packages — fulfilled in-house or via qualified partners.
Can you handle aftermarket kit production?
Absolutely. We produce and assemble kits (kitting, torque/mark, labeling, instructions) in-house or route through Canadian partners for scale.
Are parts always made in-house?
Not always. We operate a hybrid model — some projects run internally, others through vetted Canadian suppliers. Pearson manages quoting, QA, and logistics end-to-end.
What tolerances are realistic?
As a baseline: metals ±0.001–0.002″ on CTQs; plastics ±0.002–0.005″. Tighter limits may be achievable after engineering review.
How should I scope my RFQ?
Share CAD + PDF with GD&T, material/temper, finish specs, documentation level (e.g., PPAP), quantities/EBQ, packaging/labeling, and target schedule. Start your automotive quote — include PPAP level, material/finish, quantities/EBQ, and your schedule.
