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 suppliers of injection molds and mold making in Illinois”
- 2“Who supplies multi-cavity hardened steel injection molds for high-volume production in Illinois”
- 3“I need a Illinois mold making partner for a new plastic enclosure program with frequent engineering changes, who should I talk to”
- 4“Top injection molds and mold making suppliers in Illinois for custom plastic product manufacturers”
- 5“Which Illinois mold makers can design and build complex hot-runner injection molds with tight-tolerance inserts”
- 6“List 20 injection molds and mold making companies in Illinois 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.
