Pearland Industries

What Pearland Industries does

Pearland Industries is a privately held custom manufacturer of hollow metal frames and interior opening systems for commercial construction, founded in 1937 and headquartered in a single manufacturing facility at 14510 Almeda Road, Houston, TX. The company's core products are welded and knock-down hollow metal frames in 16, 14, and 12 gauge cold-rolled steel; interior lites, transoms, and sidelites integrated into those frames; and custom or non-standard configurations including odd jamb depths, retrofit openings, radius frames, and quick-turn modifications. Fire-rated assemblies (20, 45, 60, and 90-minute configurations) are fabricated and labeled per UL or WHI listings where specified, and the company holds compliance credentials including ANSI/SDI A250.8, HMMA 802/820, NFPA 80/105, and ADA dimensional standards.

The company concentrates exclusively on interior hollow metal frames and related glazing components, fabricating in-house from raw material to finished product rather than reselling distributed brands. This vertical focus and in-house production is the stated basis for its 1-3 week delivery turnaround on custom orders. Pearland operates as part of the American Doors distribution platform alongside sister/parent Riverbend Industries, supplying door and hardware distributors as the primary channel and engaging general contractors directly where project specifications require coordination.

Commercial activity is project-driven and quote-based, with pricing generated upon submission of drawings, frame schedules, or specifications (a quote is typically returned within one business day). Products ship nationwide from the Houston facility. Documented enterprise customers include UT Southwestern Medical Center (515 openings, including lead-lined assemblies for a healthcare renovation), My Possibilities Campus (50 openings with 45-minute-rated frames in an education setting), and a Comcast Plano tenant fit-out (93 openings with 90-minute-rated assemblies, performed under accelerated retrofit conditions). The company's stated pain points it addresses are schedule compression, late-stage specification changes, non-standard interior opening conditions, and supply-chain disruption — all oriented around reducing timing risk on active construction sites.
