Benchmark Your 2014 Molding Business
Add your data to our confidential Custom Injection Molders Hourly Rates Survey.
Custom injection molders: How did your machine capacity utilization in December 2014 compare with other molders? How about new mold orders? How did your machine-hour rates compare with those in your region, or nationally, for similar machine sizes? How do other molders see the outlook for business in the near future?
These and other questions will be answered—but only with your help—by our twice-yearly Custom Injection Molders Hourly Rates Survey.
