Pettibone Enters Silver Tier of Masonry Alliance Program

Words: Isa Stein

Pettibone, a leading company that specializes in heavy- duty handling equipment, has entered the Masonry Alliance Program at the Silver Tier. As part of this commitment, Pettibone becomes one of just 70 companies to receive unparalleled access to the $33 billion masonry industry.

“Pettibone is pleased to continue to partner with the MCAA and join the Masonry Alliance Program. We are excited about the new opportunities that the program will give Pettibone to reinforce our relationships within the masonry industry,” said David Chase, Pettibone Director of Marketing and Sales.

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. 

“Pettibone has been a corporate partner and supporter of the MCAA, and we are thrilled to welcome them into the 2024 Masonry Alliance Program at the Silver Tier. With this level of commitment, we look forward to seeing them featured monthly in MASONRY Magazine and on our websites,” 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.
