Just 7 questions to move you forward

Do you have high expectations of your plastics technology partner? Excellent. In just 7 questions you will find out whether and how GIWA can move you forward.

Start the test

Question 1

Should your plastics partner deliver everything from a single source, from the initial idea through to series production?

Yes. A partner with comprehensive expertise is important to me. That way I can optimise customer value and product costs at the same time.
No. That matters less to me. I have this expertise in-house.

Question 2

Do you want a flexible partner who also responds quickly to changes at short notice or to any repairs?

Yes. Absolutely! A strong partner with its own tool making is an important competitive advantage.
No. That is not worth it for me. If I occasionally have to wait longer for parts, then so be it.

Question 3

Do you need a supplier who always delivers the best possible solution at the best possible price?

Yes. There is no alternative to that. I want top quality at a fair price.
No. I can do without delivery reliability, quality and problem solving. Price is the only thing that counts.

Question 4

Do you need someone who can supply really large volumes of plastic parts in series?

Yes. Definitely. For some items I need more than 100,000 units per year. Not everyone can manage that.
No. I only need small quantities. I can get those somewhere else.

Question 5

Do you love surprises, or are you looking for a partner who delivers consistency along the entire value chain?

Yes. My customers demand consistently high quality, functionality and reliability. I expect the same from my partners.
No. Quality and reliability are less important to me.

Question 6

Do you need someone with the expertise to develop and produce highly demanding parts, or particularly large and heavy plastic components?

Yes. My plastics partner should be as versatile as possible. That helps me respond quickly to trends or changes.
No. A simple contract manufacturer with limited capabilities is enough for me.

Question 7

Are you looking for a partner who works with you as an equal and keeps their nerve even under pressure?

Yes. Constructive collaboration is important to me. The partner's expertise and experience give me confidence.
No. I am an expert in the development and production of plastic parts myself.
