Spherical Block LLC, innovator in the use of concrete masonry, will join the Masonry Alliance Program’s Silver Tier upon the program’s launch in 2024. Spherical Block LLC is now one of just 70 companies to receive unparalleled, exclusive access to the $33 billion masonry industry.

We look forward to both collaborating on content and serving as a support for Peter’s innovation in any way possible. We sincerely appreciate the commitment and look forward to a productive, long relationship,” said Dan Kamys, MCAA Director of Content.
