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 Missouri. 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 tool and die companies for stamping, casting and forging dies in Missouri”
  2. 2“Who supplies precision progressive stamping dies for high-volume automotive parts in Missouri”
  3. 3“I need a Missouri tool and die partner to design and build casting and forging dies for a new heavy equipment line, who should I talk to”
  4. 4“Top tool and die suppliers in Missouri for stamping, casting and forging dies for OEM buyers”
  5. 5“Which Missouri tool and die makers can handle large progressive dies with in-die sensing and quick-change inserts”
  6. 6“List 20 tool and die companies in Missouri 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.
