FlexTek and ESR to establish a nationwide network of hundreds of skilled sandbag technicians and drivers, ensuring rapid response during emergencies.
Houston, TX – June 17, 2025 – FlexTek LLC, a leader in modern recruiting solutions, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Emergency Sandbag Response (ESR), a nationally recognized disaster response company known for its patented sandbag-filling technology and commitment to protecting vulnerable communities. This collaboration will establish a nationwide network of trained, OSHA-compliant flood mitigation crews and drivers, ensuring rapid and professional deployment during emergencies.
ESR’s patented system fills a sandbag in under five seconds without the need for shovels or manual labor, eliminating the mess, reducing injury risk, and allowing deployment across multiple locations simultaneously. The system is part of a full-service mobile response solution trusted by government agencies to prevent damage before disaster strikes.
“We’re not just delivering sandbags, we’re delivering peace of mind,” said Albert Sotero, President and CEO of ESR. “This partnership ensures we have a national response team that is not only trained and background-checked but also ready to protect elderly and underserved communities, those often left behind in disasters.”
FlexTek brings its proprietary outsourced recruiting and vetting solutions to ESR’s 24/7 emergency deployment model. Together, they are building a professional, mission-driven network of flood mitigation technicians trained to meet strict safety, compliance, and readiness standards.
“We’re not just delivering sandbags, we’re delivering peace of mind,”
– Albert Sotero, President and CEO of ESR.
While FlexTek is engaging community-minded candidates, including students, veterans, retirees, and those looking to make a meaningful impact, every worker deployed through ESR is trained, screened, and equipped to meet federal and municipal standards for disaster readiness and loss prevention.
“Our goal is to eliminate the chaos of last-minute staffing when emergencies strike,” said Stephen Morel, CEO of FlexTek. “By building a proactive network of trained and trusted associates, powered by our technology, we give ESR the ability to respond with confidence when every minute counts.”
Together, FlexTek and ESR are expanding beyond ESR’s Florida base to serve communities across the country, from city governments to senior communities, preventing losses and saving lives when floods hit.
