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 plastic extrusion and thermoforming companies in South Carolina”
- 2“Who supplies custom extruded and thermoformed plastic profiles in South Carolina”
- 3“I need a South Carolina plastic extrusion and thermoforming partner for a new consumer product housing program, who should I talk to”
- 4“Top plastic extrusion and thermoforming suppliers in South Carolina for OEM product development buyers”
- 5“Which South Carolina plastic extrusion and thermoforming companies can handle tight-tolerance co-extruded sheet and deep-draw forming”
- 6“List 20 plastic extrusion and thermoforming companies in South Carolina 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.
