Today is International Women’s Day and the month of March is dedicated to Women’s History.

While International Women’s Day serves as a powerful reminder of the strides we’ve made toward gender equality, the empowerment and inclusivity championed by our female coworkers resonate far beyond a single day or month.

In our workplace, we witness firsthand the transformative impact of inclusivity. From the shop floor to the corner office, women bring a wealth of talent, expertise, and a diverse range of perspectives, skills, and experience that enrich our company culture and drive our success.

Today, we reflect on the remarkable contributions of women in shaping the metals and plastics industry, and paving the way for sustainable material solutions, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship!
