Isolde Boettger: A Leader in Silicone Molding and Advocate for Women in Manufacturing

Isolde Boettger was inducted into 2024’s class of ‘Women Breaking the Mold’, an honor bestowed on top women in the industry. As an inductee, Isolde also was interviewed by Rubber News about her start in the industry and growing Silcotech to the leading silicone manufacturer it is today.

Isolde has dedicated 25 years to transforming Silcotech into a global leader in silicone molding. Drawing inspiration from her father, a pioneering medical plastics innovator, Boettger combines authority with empathy to foster a collaborative workplace.

Boettger emphasizes the importance of listening to employees, building strong relationships, and understanding their needs. Influenced by leaders like Michelle Obama and Nelson Mandela, she strives to make meaningful impacts while advocating for women in the male-dominated manufacturing industry.

Her efforts include supporting female apprenticeships and driving innovative projects such as Silcotech’s fem-tech menstrual cup line. She also spearheaded the company’s 2009 expansion into India and helped establish its reputation as a leader in medical device production.

Boettger’s leadership style integrates approachability with decisiveness, enabling Silcotech to grow into a diverse, multicultural organization of 120 employees. While challenges, such as the 2015 closure of Silcotech Carolina, tested her resilience, Boettger views failures as essential for growth.

Outside of work, she values family, reading, and self-care. For Boettger, success is defined by innovation, empowering others, and leaving a positive impact on people’s lives.
