About Wienerberger

Wienerberger is the world's largest producer of bricks, second on the roofing market in Europe, and holds a leading position with pavers in Europe.

 

Founded in 1819 in Vienna and traded on the Vienna Stock Exchange since 1869, Wienerberger can look back on a great tradition. Only in 1986 the company started its dynamic expansion, which has focused on building materials since the introduction of Value Management in 1997.

 

This transformed Wienerberger from a local, Austrian brick-maker into the world's largest producer of bricks within a few years. During this time, the number of production facilities rose from 11 to a level of more than 230 plants in 24 countries with over 12,000 employees world-wide.
