Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month with Flex Seal

Flex Seal Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month

At Flex Seal, we’re all about family and are proud to celebrate the various cultures that diversify and enrich our workplace.

Every year, from September 15 to October 15, we honor the diverse cultures and the countless contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans through celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month.

What started as a week-long observation beginning in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week was expanded in 1988 to cover a 30-day period and enacted into law on August 17, 1988. We have seen this declaration blossom to a month-long celebration for all the incredible benefactions and advancements that our fellow Hispanic Americans have made.
