The Belden Brick Company Renews Gold Membership in the 2025 Masonry Alliance Program

Words: Mason Contractors

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) is pleased to announce that The Belden Brick Company will renew its Gold membership in the 2025 Masonry Alliance Program. The Belden Brick Company's dedication to quality and tradition continues to support the masonry sector's growth and innovation. We are excited to continue our collaboration and witness the contributions they will bring.

The Belden Brick Company is the largest family-owned brick manufacturer in the United States, built on the principles of integrity, community, quality, and service. Upholding the traditions set forth by early leaders Henry S. Belden and Paul Belden, Sr., the company has experienced organic growth since its founding in 1885. Despite expansion, The Belden Brick Company remains an independent entity with a small, passionate team. The core of their vision and success lies with their craftsmen in Sugarcreek, Ohio, home to a highly-skilled brickmaking community that has upheld tradition since the 19th century.

The Masonry Alliance Program has a permanent cap of 70 companies, and all renewals of current Partners will be finalized by the end of October. Starting November 1st, all remaining spots will be made available to the industry.
