Mary-Ann Musangi, an entrepreneur and managing director of Haco Industries, has been elected chairperson of the Women in Manufacturing committee of the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM).
Launched by KAM in 2017, the Women in Manufacturing programme aims to improve market access for women industrialists, foster a supportive environment and enhance their competitiveness locally and globally.

“As chairperson of the Women in Manufacturing Committee, Mary-Ann is poised to drive innovative change to meet both the evolving needs of the industry. Her new role provides a strategic platform to advance the principles of sustainability and innovation that are increasingly shaping the future of manufacturing both locally and globally” KAM said.
“Under her leadership, the committee is expected to not only increase women's representation in the industry but also push the boundaries of what is possible through innovative and environmentally conscious practices” it added.
