A select group of Latino roofing contractors from across the country participated in Owens Corning's inaugural Pantera Pros Summit in Dallas over the summer. The event marked a milestone in the company's commitment to Latino contractors and improving their businesses through education, exposure to industry leaders and excellent networking opportunities. 

A lineup of impactful speakers explored the entrepreneurial spirit that defines many Latino contractors; the emerging Latino homeowner market; and strategies for success in competitive landscape. Attendees also experienced several new products and services available in the roofing industry to help them grow.

"We're gathering our top platinum preferred Hispanic contractors from around the country,” said Octavio Vazquez, program lead for Owens Corning's Latino Program. “For us, it's a chance to celebrate the community, to help them by giving them access to all of our tools, networking, resources, all in Spanish."
