Wienerberger AG Austria

Wienerberger is the worlds largest producer of bricks and Number 2 on the clay roof tiles market in Europe, and also holds leading positions with pavers in Europe. Founded in 1819 in Vienna and traded since 1869 on the Vienna Stock Exchange, 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 worlds largest producer of bricks within a few years. During this time the number of production facilities rose from 11 to a level of 260 plants in 26 countries.
