EZG Manufacturing To Become Cornerstone Member In Masonry Alliance Program

Words: Dan Kamys

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) is thrilled to announce that EZG Manufacturing, a leader in masonry industry equipment and longtime supporter, is the first company to join the 2024 Masonry Alliance Program’s (MAP) top Cornerstone tier. As part of this commitment, EZG will receive unparalleled access and exposure to the $33 billion masonry industry. 

“The MCAA has always offered us a tremendous return on our investment, but the Masonry Alliance Program makes it easier for us to budget and plan. By simplifying that side of our marketing and involvement, we look forward to really making an impact on the industry. We’re proud to come into the program as a Cornerstone Member,” said Steve Wheeler, Masonry Sales at EZG Manufacturing.

Beginning in 2024, the Masonry Alliance Program will redefine how the Association builds relationships with industry suppliers and manufacturers. The MAP will replace the current MCAA Strategic and Corporate Partnership Program at the start of the new year. Items such as event attendance and sponsorship, advertising in MASONRY Magazine, and access to mason contractors will no longer be available outside of the MAP. There will be 70 spots available broken into four tiers: Cornerstone, Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Once tiers have filled, no new additional spots will be added. 

“EZG has been one of our largest supporters for years, and they have now committed to joining us at the top level of the Masonry Alliance Program. We look forward to helping grow their thought leadership and promote the industry for many more years to come,” said Todd Fredrick, MCAA Director of Development. 

As part of this deepened commitment from both groups, MCAA and EZG are working on a new, flagship event for mason contractors during the World of Concrete. It’s set to feature EZG Manufacturing’s founder, Damian Lang. More details will be announced soon. 

The Masonry Alliance Program is currently open to current MCAA Strategic and Corporate Partners for verbal commitments. Remaining availability will roll to all MCAA Supplier Members and MASONRY Advertisers on June 15th. At that time, the Program’s dedicated website will provide full details of the industry immersion opportunity. In July, any remaining spots in the program will be available to all interested industry suppliers. Billing and benefits will not start until January.
