wienerberger expands North America business by acquiring local supplier
Summitville Tiles, Inc.
• The acquisition of the long-established US company further advances
wienerberger’s strategic goals in North America
• The growing market for brick slips for prefabricated façade systems
for renovations plays an important role in the climate resilience of
buildings
Vienna, February 29, 2024 – By acquiring the Ohio based brick manufacturer
Summitville Tiles, Inc., wienerberger is expanding its activities in North
America and taking another important step in its global value-creating
growth strategy. Founded in 1912, the long-established US company
specializes in the production of brick slips for prefabricated façade
systems for renovations, utilized in residential and commercial
applications. A market that will grow by approx. 10% annually over the
next five years. The product portfolio of Summitville Tiles, Inc.
underlines the shift towards even greater sustainability in the
construction industry.
“Summitville Tiles is a perfect addition to wienerberger. Expanding the
resource-saving production of brick slips for prefabricated façade systems
for renovations constitutes a logical move into the growing market for
innovative and ecological construction materials. Solutions for
prefabricated brick cladding will play an increasingly important role in
making existing buildings climate-resilient, as the added layer offers
durable protection against more frequent extreme weather events, such as
storms, hail, and torrential rain. They also help saving resources and
emissions following the principle of dematerialization by allowing for
easy renovations and repairs of older façades. This acquisition allows us
to provide a portfolio of holistic, ecological solutions for the entire
building envelope, which we need to tackle the challenge of climate change
and its impacts”, says Heimo Scheuch, chairman of Wienerberger AG.
