“In the 25-plus years I’ve worked at O’Neal Manufacturing, I’ve seen an enormous amount of change. I am in awe of our female employees’ abilities to produce parts working next to their male counterparts. They are expert welders, machine operators, office workers and safety managers/committee members in our districts throughout the country. The sky is the limit for females in the steel industry!”
Mahasin Pledger
Human Resources Coordinator Magna/LMV Automotive Systems Liberty, MO
“Culture cannot change without women in the room. It is no secret that fewer women work in manufacturing than men— many fewer, but that’s changing. Manufacturing is starting to incorporate strategies to attract high-performing women to showcase their multitasking and problem-solving talents. My career in the manufacturing industry has been so rewarding. I’m so honored to be one of the faces of change.”
Cathie Pragano

“Manufacturing
is an exciting and thriving industry with so
many moving parts and many positions available for women— from machine operating and inspection to design engineering and toolmaking, and from quality technicians and engineers to management positions. There are endless possibilities for one to achieve success and to be rewarded for hard work and dedication.”
