From "Neighborhood Mold Shop" to "Fortune 500 Supplier"

The brand upgrade journey of a precision plastic mold and injection molding company

Client Background

With 20 years of deep expertise in precision mold manufacturing and injection molding, this company operates 30+ injection molding machines (80-1000T) with mold precision up to ±0.01mm. Their technical capabilities are industry-leading, having served major players like Foxconn and BYD. But here's the problem — beyond existing clients, nobody knew they existed.

Core Pain Points

Weak Brand Perception

Strong technical capabilities but weak brand image. Customers' first impression was "neighborhood mold shop," making it hard to enter high-end supplier lists.

Nearly Zero Online Presence

No website, no online content, unsearchable on search engines. Overseas customers screening suppliers couldn't find them at the first hurdle.

Unable to Communicate Technical Strengths

Advanced mold flow analysis capabilities, Class 100K cleanroom injection molding — but sales could only rely on PPT slides and verbal introductions to convey this.

No Systematic Customer Acquisition

No idea how to proactively develop new customers. All business came through industry word-of-mouth and existing customer referrals.

"Twenty years in mold making, top-tier technology, but customers saw us as a 'neighborhood mold shop.' DAKAW helped us redefine our brand. From website to content matrix, inquiries tripled within months. What surprised me most was that Fortune 500 procurement teams found us through search — something we never imagined possible before."
