Happy MFG Day

Join Us In Celebrating Manufacturing Day!

On Friday, October 4th, manufacturers all over the country participate in MFG Day - Manufacturing Day. Join BIA in celebrating decades of our clay brick manufacturers service to the industry! For MFG Day, we want to thank our manufacturers for all that they do, and highlight their accomplishments. After all, how many industries have you heard of with companies in business for over a century?

 

Did you know 68% of all BIA National and Associate Manufacturers have been in business over 100 years?

Not many industries have dozens of manufacturers in business for more than a century. BIA manufacturers proudly and sustainably lead the way in clay brick construction, continuing to inspire the architect community with award-winning designs, and show homeowners the beauty and benefits of building with brick. 

Five Oldest Brick Manufacturers: 

  1. Ironrock Capital - 1866
  2. McNear Brick & Block - 1868
  3. Brampton Brick - 1871
  4. Elgin Butler Company - 1873
  5. Cherokee Brick & Tile Company - 1877

 

Clay brick averages a 100 year lifespan.

 

Brick Is Proven To Withstand The Test Of Time

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) gives brick masonry a 100 year life. When you build your forever home, legacy matters. No other cladding can last even half that long without fully needing to be replaced. Additionally, brick is virtually maintenance free and is much more durable than vinyl, fiber cement, and stucco, saving you time and money on upkeep and repairs.       Why Choose Brick

 

Did you know over 70% of the brick sold in the US is made by a BIA member?

BIA manufacturers are located all across the country. From handmade brick to fully automated plants, our members have been trusted in the construction industry for generations. Find a brick showroom near you to learn more and get inspired how brick can transform your next project.

60% of all BIA National and Associate Manufacturers are still family owned companies today!

When we say brick is built to last generations, we mean it! More than half of BIA manufacturer companies are still family-run, with many of their employees working their way up through the company for decades. It is not uncommon to meet plant operators and sales people who have proudly been reppin' their company for 20-40 years, inspiring their children to join the team as well.
