Women in manufacturing: What might the packaging community do differently?

These eight women have established rewarding careers in the subset of manufacturing known as packaging.

Editor’s note: In Part 1 (pwgo.to/1963) of this two-part series, we asked how these eight prominent women on the operations and manufacturing side of the packaging space came to occupy their current leadership roles. In this concluding segment, we ask about signs of hope for the next generations, meeting family commitments without impairing one’s career, and what society at large and the packaging community in particular might do differently where women in manufacturing are concerned.

The interviewees
Cecilia Brock, Corporate Packaging Engineer, The C.F. Sauer Co., a maker of condiments and seasonings headquartered in Richmond, VA.
