When we can efficiently create a product that adheres to fit, form and function, we all win”.

Barb MumaVICE-PRESIDENT

With razor-sharp attention to details, Barb’s focus is on the continuous improvement of the management of Muma Manufacturing. Drawing on her expertise in organizational structure and management, she combines both the art and science of creating, monitoring, and fine tuning the company’s operations.

“It’s important to create the systems and processes to seamlessly co-ordinate design, quoting, production, and customer service. But beyond that, a great deal of our success has come from focusing on creating the right match on both sides of the desk. Achieving synergy is key; whether it’s connecting with a new customer, vetting the most reputable suppliers, or recruiting a new employee, we work hard to create the right collaborative fit all around. We focus on building the complete team internally that can deliver precision crafted products on time”.
