The Belden Brick Company Continues Gold Partnership in the 2026 Masonry Alliance Program

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) is happy to announce that the Belden Brick Company will continue its Gold partnership in the 2026 Masonry Alliance Program. The Belden Brick Company's commitment to quality continues to support the industry's growth. We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration!

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 is structured into four tiers: Cornerstone, Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Benefits such as event attendance, advertising in MASONRY Magazine, sponsorships, content development, and more are exclusive to the 70 companies within this program. All remaining 2026 Masonry Alliance Program spots are open to the public.
