Challenges
Prior to basilius
Trying to find an honest and helpful company to work with is hard. Before working with Basilius, I was in the middle of looking at overseas production. I was getting all kinds of quotes, high and low. Making it difficult to know the differences between each quote and to know what each quote was providing.
SOLUTIONS

Easy to understand quoting process
Basilius explained to me and made it easy to understand the cost, quality, and the comparisons between each quote and them.
Support from Start to Finish
Basilius was able to help me with my design, walk me through their process, and help me understand everything prior to production, throughout production, from start to finish.
AN INTERVIEW WITH BRIAN WHOLEHAN
ON WHY HE CHOSE BASILIUS FOR INJECTION MOLDING SERVICES
Q: Every project has its challenges, how did Basilius help you overcome these issues?
A: Basilius was able to explain to me their costs, breakdowns, and make me feel comfortable about the whole process. Communication with the entire team was seamless, open, and honest. I received weekly emails with an update on the mold throughout the process. Detailed information was provided showing what they were doing and what was coming next.
Q: What set Basilius apart from the other quotes you received?
A: The biggest part is that Basilius is a one stop shop. They sourced the steal for the mold, created the mold, helped with design, sourced the correct plastic pellets, and are doing the injection molding of my parts. Being able to keep things local with open communication and transparency are key factors in a successful business and relationship. Basilius brought all of that and more to the table and partnership.
Q: What made you decide to choose Basilius?
A: All of the above answers are why I choose Basilius. On top of those reasons, I prefer to support a family and locally owned business. Knowing that the family is still actively involved over 4 generations, shows the dedication and the love of what they do. This isn’t just a machine shop. This is a place that does what they love and do it with care and the clients best interests in mind.
Q: How have things been going since working with Basilius?
A: Things have been going well and I am confident about the future of my business. Basilius has given me peace of mind knowing that I will be able to grow my company and will have them their to support me every step of the way.
