Advanced Building Products Joins The Gold Tier Of Masonry Alliance Program

Words: Mason Contractors

Advanced Building Products, a manufacturer of products to deflect and drain water to prevent home and commercial building envelope moisture damage, has joined the Masonry Alliance Program at the Gold level. Advanced Building Products becomes one of just 70 companies to receive unparalleled access to the $33 billion masonry industry.

“Advanced Building Products is looking forward to re-establishing our presence in the masonry construction industry. Over the years we have shifted our focus towards the manufacturing or entangled net technologies often used in below grade, sidewall, and roofing applications.  Partnering with some of the best manufacturers and suppliers in the industry, Advanced is looking forward to sharing our knowledge and helping become a resource within the industry to support our partners,” said Keith Lolley, President of Advanced Building Products.

Availability for verbal commitments in the Masonry Alliance Program is now open to any interested company. The MCAA has recently launched a dedicated website, masonryalliances.com, with full details on the program. Starting in 2024, the MAP replaces Strategic and Corporate Partnerships as the only way for active suppliers to remain involved in MCAA activities. 

"Advanced Building Products has been a longtime member of the MCAA. We’re thrilled that they see the value in the MAP as they look to get their name out to the industry again. Their knowledge and expertise on rainscreens will be a priceless addition to our content,” said Dan Kamys, MCAA Director of Content.

The Masonry Alliance Program is broken into four tiers: Cornerstone, Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Items such as event attendance, advertising in MASONRY Magazine, sponsorships, content development, and more will no longer be available to any company outside of the 70 within this program.
