Women are still underrepresented in the engineering and manufacturing industries. At Mifa, however, we are seeing a positive shift. We are proud to have many female colleagues working across our organization, from production and quality assurance to logistics and sales.
Together with all our colleagues, they are the precision heroes who help Mifa improve and develop every single day. They think critically, look ahead, and often go the extra mile, because good is never good enough.
Precision heroes performing at Champions League Level
At Mifa, we work every day on complex aluminium extrusion profiles for customers around the world. Our products are used in industries where quality, reliability, and precision are essential.
We can only achieve these standards with colleagues who bring diverse backgrounds, experiences, and talents. Although the technical sector is still often perceived as a male-dominated industry, that traditional image is becoming less and less recognizable within Mifa.Every day, many women make valuable contributions to our products, processes, and ongoing professionalization. Whether on the production floor or in the office, their expertise, craftsmanship, and ideas are indispensable.We often say that we operate at Champions League level, and for good reason. Our customers expect top performance, and our colleagues deliver exactly that every day. They look beyond the obvious, take ownership, think ahead, and never settle for a solution that is merely “good enough.”
Talent and ambition come first at Mifa
At Mifa, we focus on talent, motivation, and the willingness to grow. We believe it is important that everyone feels welcome, valued, and empowered to learn new skills, take responsibility, and advance their careers.
“At Mifa, we strive to create a working environment where everyone has the opportunity to make the most of their talents. We see more and more women consciously choosing a career within our technical organization. That is a development we are incredibly proud of and one we are committed to encouraging further.”
Michelle Thijssen, HR Manager at Mifa
Why do women choose a career at Mifa?
Everyone has their own reasons for choosing Mifa. Still, we see several recurring themes that explain why many women feel at home here and choose to build their careers with us:
- Flexibility: Where a role and its responsibilities allow, we actively consider flexible working arrangements and a healthy work-life balance. This creates room for different life stages, ambitions, and personal situations.
- Opportunities to learn and grow: At Mifa, you are given the opportunity to expand your knowledge, take on new responsibilities, and continue developing your skills.
- A wide variety of career paths: Engineering is about much more than machines and production alone. If a CNC or operator role is not the right fit for you, there are plenty of other opportunities available. Working in a technical organization can also mean a career in:
- Quality Assurance and Quality Control
- Logistics and Supply Chain
- Engineering and Innovation
- Sales and Business Development
- Marketing and Communications
- Finance and Administration
- Human Resources and Personal Development
A different view of the technical industry
Through the stories of our female colleagues, we want to show what working in a technical organization truly means. By highlighting our female precision heroes, we hope to inspire other women and girls to explore the opportunities that a career in technology can offer.
“Many women do not immediately recognize themselves in the traditional image of the technical sector. That is exactly why we believe it is important to make our female colleagues and their stories visible. They demonstrate the wide range of talents required at Mifa to achieve outstanding results together. Hopefully, their stories will inspire other women to choose a career in technology as well.”
Rachel Waisapy, Marketing & Communications Manager at Mifa
