Lynnette Cowger Manager of Marketing and Estimating ArtiFlex Mfg. Wooster, OH
“Manufacturing provides an opportunity to work in many facets of business. I have been able to learn about many different areas of business and choose which direction in which I want my career to go. Women bring a much-needed perspective to the world of manufacturing and, in the right environment, are valued, respected and appreciated for their work and effort.”
Esther Danque
Accounting Manager Irmco
Evanston, IL
“I always assumed that manufacturing jobs were mainly for men, but there are so many opportunities for women. When I first started at Irmco, I was an accounting manager. Now, in addition to that role, I also schedule production, work with IT, and am the auditor for our ISO certification. I enjoy working with various people throughout the company.”
Linh Duong
Human Resources Manager
Jireh Metal Products, Inc. Grandville, MI
“I am very proud to be a part of the Jireh Metal family. My career in the manufacturing industry has been both very challenging and rewarding. I find that if we seek opportunities and work hard, the opportunities are truly endless in this industry. And although this is predominately a male- dominated industry, I do believe women have a voice here. Our opinions count and we definitely are valued.”
