"I am so thankful to be chosen as part of this very first Woman in Manufacturing Hall of Fame class," Crauwels said. "I am also honored and proud to be alongside this impressive group of women who paved the way for other women in manufacturing. We are on an important journey that needs our continuous attention to strive and drive for a diverse and inclusive manufacturing industry."
"We are all honored and proud of Nadine’s recognition by Women in Manufacturing," added Sean Holt, president of Sandvik Coromant for the Americas.
