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 industrial machinery and equipment distributors in Connecticut”
2“Who supplies automated palletizing systems through distributors in Connecticut”
3“I need a Connecticut industrial machinery distributor to support a new packaging line installation, who should I talk to”
4“Top industrial machinery and equipment distributors in Connecticut for manufacturing plant buyers”
5“Which Connecticut industrial machinery distributors can provide turnkey installation and maintenance support”
6“List 20 industrial machinery and equipment distributors in Connecticut 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.
