Words: Dan Kamys

The Mason Contractors Association of America is excited to announce that leading telehandler producer Xtreme Manufacturingâ„¢ has become the newest Strategic Partner. As a member of the MCAA’s flagship program for masonry-industry suppliers, Xtreme Manufacturing will be the only telehandler producer to take part in the trade’s largest promotional effort for suppliers. 

“We have worked with Xtreme Manufacturing for years, and have thoroughly enjoyed our relationship with their team. This Strategic Partnership shows Xtreme’s commitment to really stepping up and supporting the masonry industry,” said Todd Fredrick, MCAA Director of Development.

As a Strategic Partner, Xtreme Manufacturing will receive hundreds of thousands of impressions across the MCAA’s wide range of trade-related activities. This builds Xtreme’s involvement in the past, which included advertising through MASONRY Magazine’s various channels, attending MCAA events, and being a regular participant in the MCAA’s Speed Dating Event during the annual Midyear Meeting.

“We are excited to become a MCAA Strategic Partner,” said Matthew Elvin, CEO, Xtreme Manufacturing. “We value our relationship with the masonry sector and have enjoyed our participation as an MCAA Associate Member for many years. Becoming a Strategic Partner was the next natural step for our organization.”

About Xtreme Manufacturing: Xtreme Manufacturing was born from Don Ahern’s personal experience in the rental industry, struggling to find a reliable telehandler for his fleet. Inspired to produce his own machine that overcame common engineering faults of products available at the time, Don purchased Western Attachments Company in 1999, an Oregon based forklift company that specialized in rough terrain vertical mast forklifts. This business went on to become Xtreme Manufacturing in 2003, which today produces one of the largest and most versatile ranges of telehandlers in North America.

Additionally, Don harnessed the experience of the Xtreme engineering and manufacturing teams, along with feedback from customers, to fill a void in the market with the development of the Xtreme Cube™ portable building solution, as well as the E-Z Loader custom-built truck bed designed to reduce the loading and unloading time of equipment deliveries.
