10th-annual awards recognize outstanding achievement in the metal forming and fabricating industries
CLEVELAND, OH—December 2, 2025—MetalForming magazine, in conjunction with the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) and the Women in Manufacturing Association (WiM), has announced its 2025 Women of Excellence honorees, recognizing 53 outstanding women in the metal forming and fabricating industries. This 10th-annual list is published in the December issue of MetalForming magazine and in a special, expanded online section at metalformingmagazine.com that includes biographical information.
“From the corner office to the shop floor, and everywhere in between, women play critical roles in the success of every metal forming and fabricating company in our industry,” says MetalForming editorial director Brad Kuvin. “That’s why MetalForming and PMA take great pleasure in recognizing the contributions women continue to make to our industry, with our annual WoE recognition program. This year’s honorees fill a variety of roles within their metal forming and fabricating companies. Each of the women selected for this honor epitomize the dedication and commitment needed to move their companies forward.”
The Women of Excellence in Metal Forming and Fabricating program exists to recognize the vital role that women play in our industries, and to inspire the next generation to reap the rewards of a manufacturing career. MetalForming’s editorial staff, supported by PMA and WiM, recognized these women for their accomplishments in the industry, as well as a commitment to others in their careers and in their communities.
Efforts to increase manufacturing opportunities for women while recognizing their skills is an important function of PMA, MetalForming’s parent organization, and WiM, an organization that grew out of PMA’s commitment to these efforts.
