# 5 Key Considerations When Transferring Molds to a New Custom Injection Molder

When it's time to move your business from   
one injection mold supplier to another,   
you'll need to think through the process carefully.

## Is it time for a change?

There could be a variety of reasons your custom injection molder isn't working out. If you've realized that it's time to place the production or assembly of your key parts with another company, you'll want the transition to go as smoothly as possible. Several points should be taken into consideration when deciding to move injection molds from one supplier to another. The ideal solution is one in which the existing supplier, new supplier and customer are able to openly communicate while maintaining all customer deliverables during the process. However, when this is not possible, having a supplier that has experience with this type of transaction is invaluable.
