The Mason Contractors Association is excited to announce that The Belden Brick Company, the largest family-owned brick manufacturer in the United States, is the newest Strategic Partner. As a member of the MCAA’s flagship program for masonry-industry suppliers, The Belden Brick Company is now a part of the trade’s largest promotional effort for suppliers. 

“We are honored to have The Belden Brick Company join the Strategic Partner Program.

“The Belden Brick Company is proud to be a Strategic Partner of the MCAA and recognized for our dedication to our mutual partners and passion for the industry. The partnership's long-term goal is to advance masonry workforce development and utilize the expertise of both organizations to support the industry and the people who put the product in the wall,” said Brian Belden, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
