Flexcon, a global supplier of pressure sensitive films, adhesives, and functional materials, is celebrating its 70th anniversary. The company is commemorating seven decades of engineering excellence, market‑shaping innovation, and customer‑focused collaboration. 

This family-owned business began with the innovative spirit of Myles McDonough in 1956. Since then, Flexcon has transformed material science challenges into breakthrough solutions. The company’s earliest innovations in plastic film laminates have helped impact product design in consumer markets.

Over the decades, Flexcon has expanded its core capabilities. It has introduced advanced finishing processes, pioneered new adhesive technologies, and developed high‑performance labeling and identification materials. The company has grown its manufacturing footprint, too. Flexcon has expanded its distribution capabilities and strengthened its presence across North America, Europe, and Asia. 

“As we celebrate 70 proud years, we reflect on and honor the employees and partners who have shaped Flexcon into the global technology leader it is today,” says Flexcon CEO Nick Tucci. “Our history, built upon the foundation established by the McDonough Family, reflects a deep commitment to solving real-world challenges through materials innovation with success for our customers at the heart of all we do. That commitment will continue to guide us for the next 70 years as we build the next generation of high‑performance solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers around the world.”
