Industry leaders from the metal packaging sector have come together to launch the Women in Canmaking Association (WICA), a groundbreaking initiative aimed at promoting the advancement of women within the global canmaking industry.
The not-for-profit organisation aims to address the gender gap within the canmaking industry, an area of manufacturing where women remain underrepresented.
By fostering a supportive community, the membership platform plans to create opportunities for women to advance at all levels of the industry and cultivate the next generation of female talent.
WICA’s founding members are Sarah LeMoyne-Davidson, VP Human Resources at Roeslein & Associates; Martha Rojas, Global Business Development Executive at Roeslein & Associates; and Janis Osborn, Founder of Canmaking News.
“The canmaking industry is essential to global manufacturing and women’s contributions in this field are crucial,” shared said LeMoyne-Davidson.
“WICA aims to create a strong foundation for women in metal packaging, ensuring that the next generation has the opportunities and support they need to succeed.”
Rojas added: “Our goal is to drive meaningful change in the industry, reduce the gender gap, and support women in advancing their careers.”
The Women in Canmaking Association will be rolling out more details in the coming months, including networking opportunities, mentorship programmes and initiatives designed to connect women across the industry.
