Since April 2020, the Initiative “Women in the Lift Industry in Europe” (Wolie) has a new ideational sponsor, the German Federation of Medium-Sized Lift Companies (Vereinigung mittelständischer Aufzugsunternehmen, VmA).
The VmA represents 70 medium-sized companies. The Wolie project – initiated by Undine Stricker-Berghoff – gathers under its umbrella all women working in the elevator industry in Europe and beyond, especially those in technical fields or as managers. It is designed to provide them with a protected area to exchange information and ideas with other women in the branch of trade.
"We as the VmA consider the topic of 'diversity' to be important, especially in light of the increasing shortage of qualified personnel," says VmA the previous 1st Chairman Ralph Kanzler. "We will, for example, inform our members about Wolie events."
