WiMT founders Ebert-Steinhübel, Höller & Kundmüller on women in maintenance, skilled labor shortage, and professional networking.
Women in maintenance – they exist, they are skilled, and they are far more present than the industry tends to acknowledge. Yet in one of the most business-critical sectors of industrial operations, they remain largely invisible. A new network is set to change that: WiMT – Women in Maintenance, founded by Dr. Anja Ebert-Steinhübel, Lydia Höller, and Anna-Theresa Kundmüller.
In this issue of GOOD TO KNOW! #62, the three founders speak candidly about how WiMT came to be, what it aims to achieve – and why diversity in technical teams is not a quota exercise, but a direct response to the growing skilled labor shortage across industry.
From predictive maintenance and global asset management to strategic consulting: the founders bring different expertise and one shared conviction – competence must be made visible, regardless of gender.
What WiMT wants to change, which role models are needed, and how professional networking in maintenance works in practice
