Manufacturing has long been an industry of innovation, precision, and hard work—and at McKenzie Valve, we know that none of it would be possible without the talented women on our team. While women make up about 30% of the manufacturing workforce in the U.S., there’s still so much opportunity for growth, especially in leadership roles. The more diverse our teams, the stronger and more innovative our industry becomes.
Today, we want to take a moment to highlight just a few of the incredible women who make an impact at McKenzie Valve every day:
- Colleen Eldredge, Group Controller – Railcar Components: A leader in financial operations, ensuring efficiency and precision in our business.
- Brittnie Shell, Customer Service: A key player in keeping our operations running smoothly and ensuring our customers are supported.
- Ashtyn Schrimper, Marketing Specialist: Sharing our story and industry impact through strategic marketing initiatives.
Attracting and retaining women in manufacturing is key to closing the skills gap, and we’re committed to creating an environment where women can thrive. McKenzie Valve is proud to be part of the movement to bring more talented women into this field and celebrate those already making a difference.
Here’s to the women in manufacturing—at McKenzie Valve and beyond. We see you, we appreciate you, and we’re excited about the future we’re building together!
