Women of Excellence Honored by MetalForming Magazine
Seventh-annual awards recognize outstanding achievement in the metal forming and fabricating industries
CLEVELAND, OH—December 7, 2022—MetalForming magazine, in conjunction with the Women in Manufacturing Association (WiM) and the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA), has announced its 2022 Women of Excellence honorees, recognizing 35 outstanding women in the metal forming and fabricating industries. This seventh-annual list is published in the December issue of MetalForming magazine and in a special expanded online section, including biographical information.
“In this issue of MetalForming, we explore, for our seventh year running, the role of women in metal forming and fabricating facilities and recognize their achievements,” says Brad Kuvin, MetalForming editorial director. “The 2022 WoE class provides excellent examples and inspiration for those who may follow in their footsteps.”
MetalForming’s 2022 Women of Excellence class includes 35 recipients, spanning career fields from the shop floor to the boardroom. Each honoree has demonstrated on-the-job excellence and a commitment to manufacturing.
The Women of Excellence in Metal Forming and Fabricating program exists to recognize the vital role that women play in our industries, and to inspire the next generation to reap the rewards of a manufacturing career. MetalForming’s editorial staff, supported by PMA and WiM, recognized these women for their longevity and accomplishments in the industry, as well as a commitment to others in their careers and in their communities.
Efforts to increase manufacturing opportunities for women while recognizing their skills is an important function of PMA, MetalForming’s parent organization, and WiM, an organization that grew out of PMA’s commitment to these efforts.
“We are excited to celebrate the accomplishments of this year’s group of honorees, and we hope that their stories inspire future women to pursue careers in this industry and current women in industry to aspire to great things,” says Allison Grealis, WiM president and founder.
