Overview
Aluminum offers a unique combination of strength, lightness, and corrosion resistance. Pearson Manufacturing provides complete aluminum machining and fabrication — fulfilled in-house or via trusted Canadian suppliers — to help clients bring their designs to life efficiently and accurately.
⚠️ Hybrid fulfillment: not all aluminum work is performed at our facility. We route to trusted Canadian partners when it best meets capability, cost, or schedule — all coordinated under Pearson QA.

Aluminum FAQ
What aluminum grades do you support?
We machine 6061, 7075, MIC-6 cast plate, 2024, 5052, 5083, and custom alloys through our shop or qualified Canadian partners.
Can you weld aluminum?
Yes — TIG welding for aluminum is available in-house and through trusted partners depending on geometry and scope.
What tolerances can you hold on aluminum parts?
Tolerances of ±0.002″ (±0.05 mm) or better are routinely achieved, based on part design and fulfillment route.
Do you offer finishing services?
Yes. We coordinate anodizing, powder coating, and other aluminum finishing options through certified local providers.
What forming services do you provide?
We offer brake forming, bending, and shaping of aluminum — performed either in-house or through fabrication partners.
