“The path from dreams to success does exist. May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it.”
– Kalpana Chawla
The wise words of Kalpana Chawla stands true to the journey of women in the manufacturing sector as a series of transformation, resilience, and groundbreaking achievements. This evolution has not been merely about increasing female participation in the industry, but about fundamentally altering the fabric of manufacturing culture. Historically perceived as a bastion of male dominance, the manufacturing sector has witnessed a seismic shift (fig.a) towards inclusivity and diversity, thanks in no small part to the indomitable spirit of women.
Women’s foray into manufacturing has been a testament to their unwavering determination to break glass ceilings and challenge stereotypes. Once relegated to roles perceived as less technical or peripheral, women have now taken center stage, excelling in areas from production lines to executive boards, from engineering to operations management. This transformation comprising 29% (fig.b) of workforce is not just about women working alongside men; it’s about women leading, innovating, and inspiring change within the industry.

But has this journey been an easy one?

No transformational journey has ever been easy. Women in manufacturing have navigated through a labyrinth of challenges. Yet, with each obstacle, they have forged pathways for themselves and others, creating a legacy of strength, innovation, and leadership.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day at KG, it’s crucial to reflect on what our SHEROES believe:

“From juggling responsibilities to conquering hurdles, every day is a testament to the unwavering strength and tenacity of women. With each challenge, we rise stronger and navigate through life’s journey with determination and grace.”
– Deepa & Diorella
“Our society is transforming and booming with new opportunities almost every day. The key is to seize the opportunity, make it work for yourself and keep learning on the go.”
– Edsel, Giovana, & Reema
“Mastering career and motherhood isn’t for the faint of heart- it’s an extreme sport. Each day is a strategic mission that thrives on careful planning and a cheerleading squad disguised as family. The winning formula? Keeping yourself healthy, maintain open communication with your support group and set achievable targets.”
– Debashree, Megha, Mischelle & Prachi
“Turning my special abilities into my greatest strengths, I’ve carved a path in manufacturing where limitations become launchpads for innovation and success. The Mantra is to Believe in Yourself.”
– Surabhi

Yet to unlock the true potential of women workforce?

So, what does the future hold for Women in Manufacturing?

As we peer into the future of the manufacturing industry, the role of women is poised for even greater expansion and impact. The sector is experiencing a period of significant transformation, driven by rapid technological advancements, changing societal perspectives, and an increasing acknowledgment of the importance of diversity and inclusion.

This transformational era is characterized by a substantial shift towards automation, digitalization, and sustainability—areas in which women have showcased outstanding leadership and inventive talents. The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics, necessitates the unique adaptability, technical skill, and creative problem-solving capabilities that women bring to the table. Furthermore, as the significance of STEM education gains traction among young girls, providing effective mentorship is identified as a key strategy. This mentorship is vital in developing these young women into the next generation of female leaders, ready to navigate and excel in the evolving landscape of manufacturing.

Organizations like KG International are at the forefront of breaking the barriers and attracting diverse workforce to take the lead. With the remarkable strides achieved thus far, it’s conceivable to envision a future where,

“There will be no female leaders. There will just be leaders.”
– Sheryl Sandberg

Self-Aligning Ball Bearings

Double Row Self-Aligning Ball Bearings are self-aligning ball bearings with inner and outer ring raceways separated by a swivelling spherical cage.

This type of bearing is recommended when misalignment of the shaft and housing causes a problem. Ball bearings with the self-aligning feature are best for radial loads.
