The Belden Brick Company Enters Gold Tier Of The Masonry Alliance Program

Words: Dan Kamys

The Belden Brick Company, the largest family-owned brick manufacturer in the United States, joins the 2024 Masonry Alliance Program at the Gold Level. The Belden Brick Company becomes one of just 70 companies to receive unparalleled access to the $33 billion masonry industry.

“The Belden Brick Company is proud to continue our relationship with the MCAA. As a Strategic Partner for the past several years we’ve been excited to see the continued efforts of the MCAA to promote, recruit and advocate for the masonry trade. Because of these efforts and the leadership at MCAA and its membership, we are proud to continue our relationship with the association and to support these efforts to grow and strengthen the trade,” said Brian Belden, VP of Sales & Marketing at The Belden Brick Company. 

Availability for verbal commitments in the Masonry Alliance Program is now open to any interested company. The MCAA has recently launched a dedicated website, masonryalliances.com, with full details on the program. Starting in 2024, the MAP replaces Strategic and Corporate Partnerships as the only way for active suppliers to remain involved in MCAA activities. 

"The Belden Brick Company has been a Strategic Partner of the MCAA since 2019. We are looking forward to our continued collaboration in 2024 through the Gold Level of the Masonry Alliance Program. Together, this reinforces our joint commitment to serving the masonry industry,” said Dan Kamys, MCAA Director of Content.

The Masonry Alliance Program is broken into four tiers: Cornerstone, Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Items such as event attendance, advertising in MASONRY Magazine, sponsorships, content development, and more will no longer be available to any company outside of the 70 within this program.
