About MVMA

Masonry Veneer Manufacturers Association (MVMA) was organized and officially began operation in April 2006 to represent the manufactured stone veneer industry’s manufacturing companies and their suppliers. MVMA is headquartered in Washington, D.C. and is the only incorporated trade association organized specifically for the masonry veneer products industry. The mission of the organization is:

To advance the growth of the manufactured masonry veneer products industry through proactive technical, advocacy, and awareness efforts.

Five common objectives have been identified for MVMA:

Support the development of ASTM Product and Installation standards specific to the manufactured stone and brick veneer industry.
Codes and standards efforts with ICC-ES, the International Building and Residential Codes and local building codes in strategic states.
Develop technical product performance and market information for the industry.
Raise the awareness of manufactured stone and brick veneer products in the building industry.
Establish relationships with national organizations such as the NAHB, the Green Building Council, LEED, AIA, ASLA and CSI.

MVMA has formed a Codes and Standards Committee which is already working on an active agenda, including drafting of an installation and product standard as well as actively participating and representing the industry in the ICC Code development.
