Who We Are
Operative Plasterers and Cement Masons
Founded in 1864, the OPCMIA has been dedicated to representing and training plasterers and cement masons, ensuring the protection and advancement of our industry and the livelihoods of our members. Plaster and concrete are timeless building materials that will remain in demand as long as there are skilled workers adept in their installation and finishing. While these materials are both durable and aesthetically pleasing, they require expert handling and effective management to achieve the desired outcomes.
Our commitment lies in promoting these essential materials, recruiting and training skilled craftsmen to meet the industry’s needs, and holding ourselves accountable for the future of our trade and the well-being of all who make their living within it.
