Why We Do Not Say Yes to Every Manufacturing Project

Over the years, we have learned something important. Saying yes to every project is not always the right thing to do.

When a client comes to us with an idea, we do not jump straight into design, prototyping, materials, tooling or production. We start with a conversation. We ask questions. We listen carefully. Then we pause.

Not because the idea is not exciting, but because we want to be sure the groundwork has been done before moving forward.

More than 20 years ago, early in our business journey, we saw firsthand what can happen when proper due diligence has not been done. The client truly believed their product would fly off the shelves. They were convinced it was the next big thing. The excitement was real.

Unfortunately, the outcome was not.

Time was wasted.
Money was lost.
And most difficult of all, there was genuine heartbreak for the people behind the idea.

That experience shaped how we operate today at B and C Plastics.

If we do not believe an idea has been properly pressure tested through market research, pricing, alternatives and assumptions, we will not take the job on. Not because we do not care, but because we care deeply.

Once a steel mould is built and manufacturing begins, decisions are locked in. Changes become expensive and unforgiving.

Our role is not just to make plastic parts. It is to help protect the people behind the ideas.

Belief gets a product started.
Due diligence gives it a real chance to succeed.
