Hear What Customers Say
About Team 1 Plastics
Team 1 Plastics values its customers and the partnerships it has with them;
always striving to be “Your #1 Team in Customer Satisfaction.”
Thank you to Dale Bufka of I I Stanley and Lee Lim of TRAM for sharing
their perspectives of the relationship between their companies and Team 1 Plastics.
“Thank you and GREAT JOB for all your efforts in keeping things up to date on the orders. With TRMI running 6-7 days a week, it’s been a great help in keeping the lines running as well as not having to chase parts. Thank you very much for your continued support.”
“You are the first supplier to be in a Kaizen Event at MANN+HUMMEL. Great job Team 1 Plastics, and thank you again for your participation in this event!”
“Congratulations to Team One for your work and experience as a solid business in the injection molding industry. Your quality and reputation have crossed the border to several countries in the world. Team One will be our first choice in future projects for MANN+HUMMEL.”
“I wanted to send a thank you for helping us out to get parts to us. During these times in supply chain it has been proven to be somewhat challenging. Your team has worked with us to meet drops and pull ins with tremendous patience, for that I thank you all for all you and your team do.”
“Great turn around in the product quality in the last few years. Keep up the good work!”
“Effective communication, with high sense of customer care. It seems that all the shipment processes are under a high automatization level where everyone knows what to do. A big effort of all the team to achieve all the demand changes within a few days’ notice. We feel TEAMONE is a benchmark company/supplier in the automotive industry. Well done.”
“I wanted to thank the Team 1 crew for the outstanding work getting the 10 transferred tools up and running. Wrapping up PPAP in just over six weeks is no walk in the park — especially with the unexpected tool repairs and mold base build along the way. Your consistent communication, quick turnaround on quotes, and ability to keep the tooling work on schedule really made a difference. I appreciate the professionalism and responsiveness throughout. Looking forward to more wins together.”
“I’ve worked closely with the engineering team on initial PPAP, and everything was submitted on time. Follow-up was excellent, and they were constantly keeping me updated on the status of action items. When I have had quality issues, they were followed up on and resolved in a very timely manner.”
