When it comes to planning for our rankings and lists, I wanted to check in more frequently with timely questions about the industry or business in general. For that effort, I'll be sending out poll questions with the subject line: Plastics News is asking and I'll share the results under the same name.
Our database has more than 9,000 companies that we survey. This includes plastics processors, recyclers, compounders and mold makers.
We update our rankings annually using fiscal year data. These appear in our publication issues throughout our editorial calendar. We also reprint the top 100 in our end of the special issue called The Book.
However, these new polls will give us a more instant peek at opinions and information. Look in your mailbox for the inaugural poll: Plastics News is asking: Do you process liquid silicone rubber? Be sure and watch for future poll questions coming your way.
If you're not receiving our requests for updates for the rankings, please send me a note with your companies contact information and I'll make sure you start receiving them. You can reach me at [email protected]
You can also find all our survey forms as pdf files online at: www.plasticsnews.com/rankings-survey-forms
Just save your changes and email the finished form to [email protected]
