We strive to build lasting relationships with our customers.
At Smithstown we strive to build lasting relationships with our customers, our aim is to turn new customers into return customers. This can be seen in the fact that we are still dealing with several of our earliest customers for over 40 years and 50% of our customers today are repeat customers.
With regard to the design process, we believe an investment in quality design results in production of high quality mould tooling. High quality tooling will produce more consistent products and will reduce cost over the lifetime of the tool. High quality injection mould design which is also quality-built will:
- Last longer,
- Need fewer repairs,
- Increase productivity,
- Decrease scrap,
- Increase quality of produced products.
