20 more companies were named at least once. Companies outside the top ten are counted in the averages but not named here.

Also named, based in another state

AI assistants named these companies too, but MacRAE'S lists them in a different state, not Minnesota. They belong to that state's ranking, not this one.

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