First when selecting a plastics partner: ask about their expertise

How much do you know about injection molding? If you are looking for a plastics supplier, everyone knows about the necessity of performing a quality audit. But there are a few other things we’ve learned over the years that have helped us identify a good fit between us and a customer, none of which are covered in the scope of a standard quality audit.
