Introduction
Bricks don’t make themselves. Behind every quality product leaving our yard, there’s a team ensuring excellence; and at Federale Stene, some of our most crucial departments are led by women. In a traditionally male-driven industry, we’re proud to celebrate the women who uphold safety, production integrity, sales service and compliance – all while challenging stereotypes.
Leading from the front
South Africa’s manufacturing sector has long been male dominated, but the tides are changing. Federale Stene reflects this evolution with strong, capable women at the helm of departments like Health & Safety, QMS, Sales Rep Support, Production Supervision and Sales.
Their roles go far beyond admin. Our QMS lead ensures brick quality is measured and maintained to SABS standards. Our Production Supervisor oversees complex day-to-day operations on-site. Sales
Support ensures reps stay responsive, informed and organised. Health & Safety ensures every team member gets home safely. And our Sales Rep holds her own in a competitive field, building strong
client relationships.
These women lead with precision, care and authority. They’ve earned their stripes not just through technical know-how, but through their ability to keep teams motivated, systems running and bricks
moving. Their presence sends a powerful message: capability doesn’t wear a hard hat in one colour
only.
Conclusion
The face of South African manufacturing is changing and Federale Stene is proud to be part of that shift. These women aren’t just supporting the business; they’re helping to drive it forward, one clay brick at a time.
