Owner of Pioneer Service Receives Manufacturing Institute Award

In the ever-changing landscape of manufacturing, women are on the forefront of new and innovative ideas for the industry. The Manufacturing Institute (Washington, DC) recently awarded Aneesa Muthana, the president and owner of Pioneer Service Inc. (Addison, IL), with their Women in Manufacturing (STEP) (Science, Technology, Engineering and Production) Ahead Award. This award honors women who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in their careers and represent all levels of the manufacturing industry, from the factory floor to the C-suite.

Pioneer Service is a precision machine shop that provides Swiss CNC-machined parts for the medical, automotive, aerospace and other industries. “I am honored to receive this award,” said Muthana. “Manufacturers are makers, and women have been under-represented in this industry for too long. The process of bringing people together to make something that will go on to serve a bigger purpose is where my passion lies. Knowing that the parts that leave my shop are contributing to the world at large, touching lives and benefiting people, fuels my passion.”

Along with providing high precision parts that are solutions for advanced industries, she also provides high precision solutions to advance her own company’s manufacturing business. For example, back in 2014 she led Pioneer Service to implement a new ERP system from Global Shop Solutions (The Woodlands, TX) to simplify their manufacturing. “It is a pleasure to know and be able to work alongside Aneesa,” noted Dusty Alexander, the president and chief executive officer of Global Shop Solutions. “We are excited and proud of Aneesa for all of her accomplishments in the manufacturing industry. I can’t wait to see the work that she continues and how her positive influence is shaping and changing the manufacturing industry.”

The Manufacturing Institute (the Institute) is the 501(c)(3) affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers (Washington, DC). As a non-partisan organization, the Institute is committed to delivering leading-edge information and services to the nation’s manufacturers as an authority on the attraction, qualification and development of world-class manufacturing talent.
