A contract manufacturer that leads with engineering, not floor space
P&A International builds engineered parts and assemblies to specification — metalwork, machined components, plastics, castings and thermal hardware — through a vetted partner-factory network in China, every supplier ISO 9000 certified or better.
Founded as an engineering consultancy in 2008, we win work where drawings are demanding and evidence matters: DFM at quote, inspection data at delivery, one dedicated engineer in between.
consultancy + manufacture
per project, end-to-end
qualified samples with test data
every supplier certified or better
assemblies consolidated under one roof
What we build
Metalwork
Fabricated, machined, stamped and cast metal parts — see the metal hub for the full cluster.
Plastics
Injection moulding from tooling to volume, with resins certified and tooling owned by you.
Thermal
Heatsinks, heat pipes and cooling modules engineered to the duty.
Assemblies
Multi-process builds kitted, tested and packed — one PO, one quality file.
The detailed service pages carry process depth; this page is the front door for build-to-spec work.
Engineering capability
- Build-to-print across metal, plastic, casting, extrusion and thermal processes
- DFM review on every quote; value engineering on standing programs
- Tooling programs with customer ownership, storage and maintenance logging
- Quality files: FAI, CMM, material certs, SPC, test reports as specified
- Kitting, sub-assembly and tested-module delivery
- Supply agreements: call-off scheduling, buffer stock, repeat batch pricing

Why engineers & buyers choose PA
For design engineers
Contract manufacturing fails at handover points — drawing to quote, quote to tool, tool to production. We staff those joints with engineers: the same person who challenged your tolerances at RFQ signs the first-article report.
For purchasing
Consolidation without opacity: itemised pricing per process, named partner classes, your tooling in your name, and inspection data with deliveries — the audit trail procurement wishes every CM provided.
3 easy steps to get started
Send the pack
Drawings, volumes, dates — partial packs are fine to start.
DFM + itemised quote
Feedback that improves the part, pricing you can compare line by line.
Pilot, then program
Evidence-backed first build, then supply on agreed terms.
Applications
Industrial equipment and automation hardware, energy and battery systems, lighting and electronics housings, transport and agritech components, medical hardware — engineered products where the spec is the contract.
Process depth: metal services, injection molding, aluminum die casting and thermal hardware. New to the model? Start at how we work.
Where we fit (and where we do not)
Honest fit assessment:
| Engineered to drawing | Core fit — tolerances, materials and evidence matter |
| Multi-process assemblies | Strong fit — consolidation is the value |
| Catalogue commodities | Poor fit — no engineering to add |
| Ultra-high-volume electronics | Wrong network — we are mechanical-led |
What to send us for a fast, accurate quote
The more of this you can share, the quicker we can return a proposed build plan and price:
- Drawing pack or model set
- Quantities: pilot, annual, program life
- Quality documentation requirements
- Assembly/test expectations
- Target dates and delivery terms
Transferring from another CM? Say what broke — the proposal will address it specifically.
