A few years ago, we were using a particular supplier for molded plastic parts. One day we received a call from a mutual associate telling us that our supplier had passed away and we should come get our tooling and whatever products were there.

What a surprise! There was oil all over the floor and the machinery was ancient. One of our molds had practically melted into the press and it took three men and whatever rusty old tools we could get our hands on to free it. I had never seen such a collection of old tools, parts and molds in my life.

That's when we started working with Nicolet Plastics. What a difference. The relationship I have with the people at Nicolet Plastics, and the exceptional products and state-of-the-art technology they provide me is unrivaled in this industry. When you think about Customer Service, you appreciate a friendly voice at the end of the line, prompt delivery times and flexible production lines. But, "above and beyond", is what Doug and Nicolet Plastics do - everyday. They give us nothing less than "everything" and it's what we've come to expect. Top notch engineering and tooling departments, competitive pricing and continual operations upgrades make Nicolet Plastics one of the best companies I have ever worked with.

Mercury Marine is very selective in choosing suppliers - companies must meet our high quality standards and be capable of high-performance flexibility. Nicolet Plastics has consistently met these criteria.

The engineering and purchasing departments of Nicolet Plastics and Mercury Marine worked together to redesign and prototype an existing part. Each prototype met all our specialized criteria. The cost came in very low, allowing Mercury Marine to save money and use a better quality part.

Through combined innovation Nicolet Plastics was able to quickly and cost-effectively move the part into production. Nicolet Plastics adapts very quickly to change, can do exceptional custom work and provides each client with the personal attention they deserve.

The first time I worked on a project with Nicolet Plastics Incorporated (NPI) was in the mid 80s - since then our partnership has only grown stronger. NPI is willing to try anything to produce the results the client is looking for. They are on the cutting edge with tooling, equipment and design capabilities. Their design review team provides excellent input; they are creative solution finders and are very easy to work with. NPI delivers a timely response on product and a quick turn around on tools.

Even when challenged with difficult mold designs, NPI is able to simplify the process thereby reducing costs. Utilizing their in house rapid prototype machine allows the toolmaker to better understand how the tool needs to be created.

Another quality control advantage that NPI provides for the customer is their storyboards, which detail the proper measurements and color specifications of each piece. Through this self-certification process, NPI offers customers the assurance of knowing that each piece is manufactured to exacting specifications.

I have come to expect that quality work will always be there - you don't realize how good NPI is until you try to compare quality and price somewhere else.

From the President of the company to the people in shipping the folks at NPI are honest, hardworking and down to earth - some of the best people I've ever worked with.

I have been working with Nicolet Plastics for 13 years and have never been disappointed. The people at Nicolet Plastics have a true open door policy and extreme flexibility. They want to be involved in the entire process of your project so they can truly understand the objectives that need to be fulfilled.

In my experience, it is rare to find a plastic injection molding company that has the combination of in house tooling and molding they do - the quality produced is phenomenal.

NPI is an outstanding company. They are knowledgeable, easy to work with, provide exceptional customer service, produce high quality parts, provide flexible lead times, are always competitive on price and do precision color matching work.

Nicolet Plastics is a cutting edge company that is always willing to take on a challenge.
