History

The Bloc was founded as The CementWorks in 2000 by husband and wife team Susan Miller Viray and Rico Viray in their New York apartment. In 2008, the company expanded to four agencies built on the principle of small entrepreneur-based companies: The CementWorks, The IronWorks, The StoneWorks, and The CementBond. In 2010, the four companies merged to form The CementBloc. In 2015, its leaders announced that the company had changed its name to The Bloc.
