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 tool and die companies for stamping, casting and forging dies in Missouri”
- 2“Who supplies precision progressive stamping dies for high-volume automotive parts in Missouri”
- 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“Top tool and die suppliers in Missouri for stamping, casting and forging dies for OEM buyers”
- 5“Which Missouri tool and die makers can handle large progressive dies with in-die sensing and quick-change inserts”
- 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.
