Acme Brick Joins The Masonry Alliance Program’s Gold Tier

Words: Dan Kamys

Acme Brick, a quality manufacturer of building materials and design products since 1891, is set to join the Gold Tier of the 2024 Masonry Alliance Program. Now, Acme Brick will be one of just 70 companies to receive unparalleled access to the $33 billion masonry industry. 

“Acme Brick is excited to participate and support MCAA’s Masonry Alliance Program. We believe that a unified masonry industry is a stronger one. Recognizing that we share common opportunities and challenges, we should work together to safeguard and promote masonry’s future. We look forward to the partnership, networking, and benefits of this new program,” Stan McCarthy, Sr. Vice President of Sales at Acme Brick.

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. 

“It is great for such a storied producer of masonry materials like Acme Brick to re-energize their involvement with the MCAA through the Masonry Alliance Program. Through our talks about the Program, we discussed how the MAP will allow the MCAA to better serve active suppliers and mason contractors. It’s a great reassurance to have Acme Brick join the program’s Gold Tier following the conversations,” 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.
