Wienerberger AG

Wienerberger is the world's largest producer of bricks and No. 1 on the clay roof tiles market in Europe with 198 production sites in 30 countries. We also hold leading positions in concrete pavers in CEE and pipe systems in Europe. Founded in 1819 as an Austrian brick manufacturer, Wienerberger has developed over the past five years into an international building materials group that combines Clay Building Materials and Pipes & Pavers businesses. Strategic milestones in the company’s geographic expansion, which began in the 1980s, include market entry in North America during 1999 and the expansion of roofing systems in Western Europe starting in 2003 as well as the full takeover of the plastic pipe producer Pipelife in 2012 and the leading clay roof tile producer Tondach Gleinstätten in 2014. Today Wienerberger has a broad industrial base, high innovative strength and a strong corporate culture, and is well positioned to profit from a market recovery through organic growth.
