Masonry Cosmetics Goes Gold In The Masonry Alliance Program

Words: Dan Kamys

Masonry Cosmetics, a supplier of proprietary masonry staining products, has joined the MCAA Masonry Alliance Program at the Gold tier. Through this commitment, Masonry Cosmetics will receive exclusive access to the $33 billion masonry industry. 

“What an opportunity to be a part of a group that is so special to the Industry we love.  We would not miss it for the world.  Masonry Cosmetics has been very involved with MCAA as a member, then later a Corporate Partner and today are very excited to be a part of the New Masonry Alliance Program.  We are looking forward to seeing who all the other 69 members are and together we will work to keep #MasonryStrong!” said Don Foster, President of Masonry Cosmetics.

Beginning in 2024, the Masonry Alliance Program will replace the current MCAA Strategic and Corporate Partnership Program. Items such as event attendance and sponsorship, and advertising in MASONRY Magazine that provide access to mason contractors will no longer be available outside of the MAP. There will be 70 spots available broken into four tiers: Cornerstone, Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Once tiers have filled, no new additional spots will be added. 

“Masonry Cosmetics has continued to increase their involvement and dedication to the industry over the past few years. We are thrilled to welcome them at the Gold level of our new program, and look forward to many more years of working together,” said Todd Fredrick, MCAA Director of Development. 

As of today, the Masonry Alliance Program is only open for verbal commitments from current MCAA Strategic and Corporate Partners. On June 15th, MASONRY Advertisers and MCAA Supplier Members will also receive access. From July 1st onward, any industry supplier may claim an open spot. Expect to see a dedicated website launch around June 15th that will provide full details on the industry immersion initiative.
