The five questions we asked

Every company in this cell is measured on the same questions, written the way a buyer would type them. That is what makes the ranking a comparison rather than a collection of anecdotes.

1“Best heat exchanger companies in Michigan”
2“Who supplies custom shell-and-tube heat exchangers in Michigan”
3“I need a Michigan heat exchanger partner for a high-pressure chemical processing line, who should I talk to”
4“Top heat exchanger suppliers in Michigan for process engineering buyers”
5“Which Michigan heat exchanger manufacturers can handle ASME-coded stainless steel units for corrosive media”
6“List 20 heat exchanger companies in Michigan with their specialties.”the roster question

Each question is asked more than once, which is why a company's score is out of 15 answers rather than out of the number of questions.
