Best Block Secures Silver Spot In The Masonry Alliance Program

Words: Dan Kamys

Best Block, national provider of concrete masonry, will join the MCAA’s Masonry Alliance Program at the Silver level. As part of this commitment, Best Block becomes one of just 70 companies to receive unparalleled access to the $33 billion masonry industry. 

“Best Block is proud to continue its support of the MCAA. To continue to compete effectively, it’s important that our industry remain strong and proactive in promoting masonry. Our involvement with the Association also allows Best Block to work side by side with the membership to support workforce development initiatives,” said Justin Meyer, Vice President Sales at Best Block.

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. 

“Best Block has continued to get more involved with the MCAA over the past few years. It’s a great sign of confidence from our friends at The Quikrete Companies to also move Best Block into the Masonry Alliance Program at the Silver Tier. We look forward to future work together,” said Todd Fredrick, MCAA Director of Development. 

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.
