workforce. And finally, there’s the opportunity to blaze the trail for other women looking to enter the field. What Acme Corrugated Is Doing Acme Corrugated Box is immensely proud of its grow- ing number of female employees. Thirty-six women work at Acme Corrugated Box today: 12 of them in manufactur- ing roles. That number is poised to grow as stigmas break down, trade careers gain traction, and as Acme Corrugat- ed Box continues its commitment to equal hiring. “It really is a great time for anyone ¬– and especially women – to consider a career in manufacturing,” says Hei- di Morrison, Acme Corrugated Box’s Human Resources Di- rector. “The possibilities are endless. A willingness to work hard can really pay off.” For all employees, Acme Corrugated Box offers on-the- job training, education, and opportunity for advancement, not to mention competitive wages. And remember, work- ing in the manufacturing sector doesn’t necessarily mean a manufacturing-specific role. From design and marketing to finance and cybersecurity, opportunities abound indus- try-wide. “We treat the hiring process equally for all,” Morrison says. “We are very willing to fill roles with women and look forward to continuing to grow our female population.”
