| Company | State | Mentions |
|---|---|---|
| Lyons | Illinois | 5 of 15 |
| Engineering Specialties Inc. (ESI) | Oregon | 2 of 15 |

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 metal stampings companies in Connecticut”
- 2“Who supplies custom progressive die metal stampings in Connecticut”
- 3“I need a Connecticut metal stampings partner for a 100,000 unit appliance bracket run, who should I talk to”
- 4“Top metal stampings suppliers in Connecticut for automotive OEM buyers”
- 5“Which Connecticut metal stampings companies can handle high-volume stainless steel progressive die work”
- 6“List 20 metal stampings companies 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.
