Words: Tim O'toole

Trowel Trades, a company that specializes in equipment rental, tool retail, repair services, scaffolding and mast climber access solutions, enters the Silver Tier of the Masonry Alliance Program. As part of this commitment, Trowel Trades becomes one of just 70 companies to receive unparalleled access to the $33 billion masonry industry.

“Embrace Excellence, Unite for Progress! Joining Trowel Trades in the MCAA signifies our commitment to continuous growth, collaboration, and industry innovation. Together, let's shape the future of the masonry industry and elevate our standards of excellence. Join us as we build a stronger, more interconnected community, driving collective success in masonry and beyond. Trowel Trades inc is excited to take our partnership with the MCAA to a new level,” said Mark Maleski, President of Trowel Trades.

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. 

"Trowel Trades has been a committed member of the MCAA for many years. We are looking forward to strengthening our collaboration in 2024 through the Silver Tier of the Masonry Alliance Program," said Todd Fredrick, MCAA Director of Development. 

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.
