Apple Steel Rule Die, a business specializing in the manufacturing of medical dies, gasket dies, label dies, thermo-forming dies, flexible circuit dies, and dies for myriad other industries, is proud to announce national re-certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC Certification is the gold standard for women-owned business certification in the United States.

“As a female CEO leading a certified women-owned business, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of WBENC Certification. It’s not just a label; it’s a symbol of our commitment to excellence and diversity. This certification opens doors to opportunities that might have otherwise been elusive, fostering a supportive community of women-owned businesses.

Being recognized by WBENC isn’t just about gaining a seat at the table; it’s about reshaping the entire landscape. It amplifies our voices, empowers our vision, and propels us forward in a competitive business world. When women-owned businesses thrive, it’s not just a win for us individually, but a triumph for the collective force of female-led enterprises. WBENC Certification matters because it signifies progress, equality, and a commitment to a future where every woman with a dream can turn it into a successful reality.” – Barb Wambold, CEO

The WBENC standard of certification is a meticulous process, including an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and that the business has appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place.

By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs, which in turn empowers women as leaders and brings about a more diverse, balanced and sustainable economy.

WBENC Certification combined with professional development and engagement in the WBENC network provides unsurpassed opportunities year-round, both virtually and in-person, for women-owned businesses to grow and expand their business and innovation through events, programming and connections with major corporations and other WBEs.
