Women's Manufacturing Network
The Women’s Manufacturing Network recognizes and elevates the women shaping the future of manufacturing. Through stories, events, and industry engagement, WMN highlights the people and careers driving modern manufacturing forward.
Our Mission
The Women’s Manufacturing Network exists to recognize, connect, and elevate women across the manufacturing industry by increasing visibility, highlighting their careers and leadership, and fostering meaningful connections within the industry.
Why WMN Exists
Manufacturing is one of the most important industries in the world, yet the stories of the people building it are often overlooked. Women contribute to every part of the industry—from engineering and plant operations to leadership and innovation—but their experiences are not always visible.
​
The Women’s Manufacturing Network was created to change that by providing a platform that recognizes those contributions, highlights career journeys, and inspires the next generation of women entering manufacturing.
