How long have you been a BAMA member? 4 Years
What do you like most about being a BAMA member? I appreciate the community of people in manufacturing who all genuinely want to see each other succeed.
Tell us about your company. Ayanna Plastics & Engineering, Inc. is an ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified plastic injection molding company. Since 2001, Ayanna has focused on it’s core manufacturing strengths of mold design, mold building and part production. Ayanna serves a diverse and growing listing of industries including medical, industrial, consumer, aerospace, marine and defense. Our strategy allows us to offer globally competitive prices which reduces the risks of sourcing offshore for our customers. Based on design for manufacturing principles, our strategy for part design, mold design, mold building and processing allows us to consistently provide customers results that are so specific to their needs that many customers see us as an extension of their own company.
What do you consider your greatest accomplishment to date? Without a doubt, my relationship with my husband and children. However, on a professional level, I share my greatest accomplishment with my husband who stands beside me to run a successful company. Our company has survived economic and political turmoil, a pandemic, overseas competition and the demise of our industry in our area. And, now, as our son becomes more and more involved in this endeavor we all share our excitement for the future together.
What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? There is power in silence. I truly believe in the value of listening and the power of showing results over sharing plans.
What is the most important skill you have developed in your career? Building meaningful connections with my family (most of whom I work with every day), team members and customers. These relationships are built on trust and our team knows that every decision, even the unpopular and tough decisions are made in the best interest of the company and them. Everyone on our team is truly part of the Ayanna family. And, just as importantly, our customers know our guidance is always based on what is best for them and not always what is most profitable for us.
What are your hobbies or interests? I love to be creative at home and work, from a flair for design so simply trying to creatively solve a problem. My husband and I both love animals and share our home with 4 mixed breed dogs and 2 cats. I’m always interested in learning and recently started taking a sewing class. When we travel, we spend time learning about the history and culture of an area so we enjoy it even more because of that knowledge.
