"THEY'RE RIGHT."

Dante Macario, President of Genco Masoury, located in the Washington, D.C. area recently celebrated his 50th anniversary with the firm!

Leaving a federal government job in the 1940's to pursue the masonry made, Dante worked his way up the entire ladder from apprentice to Genco President! Today, Genco's simultaneously working on all three Washington-area airports plus Jack Kent Cooke Stadium (Washington Redskins), IBM, FBI, The Ronald Reagan Building and selected highly visible residential complexes. Dante annually supervises up to 1,000 employees and purchases brick by the tens of millions!

He's a past President of the Masonry Mustitate and has been a featured speaker at the annual conventions of MCAA NABD, NCMA, as well as appearing numerous times as an "expert witness" in conflict resolution matters throughout the United States.

Based on a distinguished 50 year career, his comments shown here are Dante's personal opinion. He (or Genco) isn't receiving remuneration of any kind from Non-Stop. His comments are, word for-word, from the heart.

"It'll Dramatically Increase Your Profit. Because It's Dramatically Increased Ours."

"You know those Non-Stop Scaffolding ads running in industry magazines with the headline The Fastest Way to Double Your Profit?

Well, after 60 years and thousands of masonry jobs...I've finally found an ad with a provocative headline that makes sense. Non-Stop Scaffolding has dramatically increased our profit on every job that we've used it on since the day we first received it (actually, it was the second day...the first day was devoted to a Non-Stop training session although our crew were pros by noon).

Genco's extremely dependent on its' adjustable scaffolding and had the opportunity to both "look at" and "try out" other highly advertised adjustable scaffolding systems. Certainly, they all look similar and, in theory, they're supposed to do the same thing. Yet, as far as Genco is concerned, that's where the similarity ends.

Because Non-Stop (perhaps since its' the only adjustable scaffold actually designed by a fellow masonry contractor) is always a key factor in bringing in our projects on time or even ahead of our most aggressive estimates.

After 80 years in the masonry contracting business, I've seen many changes and improvements. Adjustable scaffolding is one of the best improvements. Almost any adjustable scaffolding should save you some money. But to dramatically increase your profit... REALLY DRAMATICALLY... why not use a scaffold system that simply doesn't stop. I guess that's how they got their name."
