Embracing culture, connection and community
October 21, 2025

On Friday, October 3, 2025, MAPEI’s Fredericksburg, Virginia, team came together to celebrate Diversity Day and honor the many cultures, traditions and experiences that make our workplace so vibrant.

Employees were encouraged to share their heritage through art, clothing and food, and the day was filled with color, creativity and connection. One of the highlights of the celebration was the “Diversity Tree” – a collaborative art piece that was created from employee handprints to symbolize unity and growth.

A few of the many contributions included the following:

  • Limber de coco – Puerto Rico
  • Pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread) – Mexico
  • Tamales – Colombia
  • Polish sausage and sauerkraut – Poland
  • Buckeye candy – Ohio, United States
  • Jollof rice and traditional Nigerian clothing – Nigeria
  • Rocks – Iceland
  • Horchata – El Salvador

MAPEI Virginia’s HR team extends a special thank-you to Daniela, Xiomara and Erin for their creativity and hard work in organizing such a meaningful and memorable celebration.

At MAPEI, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the diversity that strengthens our team and inspires innovation every day.
