WASCO Celebrates 50th Anniversary

Words: Andy SneedRecently, WASCO, Inc. celebrated our 50th Anniversary with more than 400 family and friends at our offices in downtown Nashville. Amidst all the fun, cornhole games and delicious BBQ, we were humbly reminded of just how blessed we are ─ blessed with love for our WASCO family, our industry, and all our clients and vendors.

When my father founded this company, soon followed by my cousin, he did so with a commitment to innovation within our industry, a dedication to providing the latest tools to masons across Tennessee. And in doing so, they put WASCO in a trailblazing, leadership position within the masonry industry, a position we proudly hold 50 years later.

So, thank you for believing in us, thank you for joining us on this journey, and thank you for helping us make WASCO great.

Here’s to another 50 years!
