Through TOOLPLACE we sought alternative quotes for a project where we were to supply injection moulded parts to the customer.
We were very surprised that with the TOOLPLACE supplier pool we were able to achieve a price advantage for the project scope (injection mould + component production) of over 20%, despite the fact that the supplier came from Germany.
As the price/performance ratio was at a very high level, we will continue to use TOOLPLACE for our project enquiries in the future.

What I particularly like about working with the TOOLPLACE enquiry tool is that it is so intuitive and easy to use. The enquiry documents are entered and sent within a few minutes, which saves me time in my daily work.
The toolmakers assigned to our enquiries respond quickly and offer according to our requirements.

„Fast, uncomplicated and goal-oriented. That’s how I would describe the cooperation with TOOLPLACE.
For a customer project, we were looking for a suitable supplier for injection molds and prototype production. With the help of the Toolplace inquiry tool, we specified our needs and within a few days we already had several offers. We also liked the fact that we could make direct contact with the toolmakers. This meant that any queries could be clarified quickly.
We will therefore gladly continue to use the service of TOOLPLACE!“
For a development project, we needed a new supplier at short notice for an injection mold and initial prototype parts. Within a few days, TOOLPLACE provided us with a contact whose competencies exactly matched the small special component we wanted to implement.
The collaboration was very focused and efficient. We will gladly use the services of TOOLPLACE again.
We had received a promising inquiry from a customer. However, their manufacturing technology required special toolmaking expertise that our pool of suppliers did not cover.
TOOLPLACE not only helped us to clearly specify the requirements, but also very quickly provided us with the appropriate toolmaker contacts. This enabled us to meet the customer’s tight timeframe and bid the project.
For one of our projects, we needed a toolmaker with specific skills. Since we had to act quickly, we did not have time to go into the time-consuming search for a suitable supplier ourselves. Therefore, we used TOOLPLACE and were able to identify several suitable toolmakers quickly and easily. A great experience that saved us a lot of effort. After this great experience, we will approach TOOLPLACE more often in the future!
