We present strong women at KraussMaffei
Her job is to give life to KraussMaffei products. Electrical switchgear is an important part of any machine, regardless of whether it is electrical or hydraulic machine. Without juice - electricity - the control unit would not be able to manage the machine. Electrical switchboards are distributed from KraussMaffei Sučany to all KM plants and to the Netstal plant.

How do you balance work life with your personal passions?
Miroslava Pastvová
My husband and I work on shifts, which in times can be a bit tiring, but in the end we found an advantage in such work as we can take turns with taking care of our son. My personal passions are running and baking. With running I clear my head. Baking is done after I put my son Filip down to bed. My reward are happy customers who like to come back to me again and again for the cake “coffee beans”.

Being a women is very beautiful and I enjoy being one. So the only challenge I see is to be established at work, which might have to do with women being disadvantaged after starting a family.
