Overview

Pearson Manufacturing provides hybrid access to precision brass machining—CNC turning, manual machining, threading, and polishing—supporting sectors like plumbing, electronics, aerospace, marine, and architectural hardware. Some projects run at our Ontario facility; others are routed to vetted Canadian partners based on geometry, scale, and lead time.

We coordinate sourcing, QA, and logistics end-to-end so you get consistent specs and finishes across vendors and runs.

⚠️ Hybrid fulfillment: not all brass work is performed on-site—routing is selected for capability, speed, and compliance under Pearson QA.

Brass FAQ

Which brass alloys do you machine?

Commonly: C360 free-machining, C260 cartridge brass, and C464 naval brass. Other alloys available on request through in-house or qualified partners.

What tolerances can you hold in brass?

±0.002″ (±0.05 mm) or tighter is routinely supported depending on geometry, tooling, and fulfillment route.

Can you polish and plate brass parts?

Yes—polishing is available in-house. Plating/coating (e.g., nickel, chrome, clear/colored lacquer) is coordinated via certified Canadian finishers.

Do you handle both high-volume and one-off brass parts?

Yes. We support prototypes and production by sourcing the right resources—internally or through our vetted network—to match scope and lead time.

Is this manufactured in-house?

We operate a hybrid fulfillment model. Some components are produced at our Ontario facility; others are fulfilled through vetted Canadian partners per your specifications.
