Frauenförderung

Women4Metals and SynFlex Group

Women4Metals is an industry-specific women‘s empowerment initiative in the metal industry that was founded by Aurubis. It is about making the industry more attractive for women. In a broader sense, all industries that are dominated by men.

The SynFlex Group, SHWire and SynFlex, believe this to be extremely important, on the one hand to uncover the dormant potential of women for the industry and on the other hand to increase diversity. The metal industry is always considered old-fashioned, whereas without us very attractive future models such as e-mobility, the expansion of renewable energies and grid infrastructure would not be possible at all.
