wienerberger expands North American business and takes over local provider Summitville Tiles, Inc.

Summitville Tiles is a perfect complement to wienerberger. The expansion of the resource-saving production of brick slips for prefabricated facade systems for renovation is a logical step in a growing market for innovative and ecological building materials. Prefabricated brick façade cladding solutions will play an increasingly important role in making existing buildings climate resilient, as the additional layer also provides lasting protection against increasingly common extreme weather events such as storms, hail and heavy rain. They also contribute to saving resources in terms of dematerialization and emissions, as they enable older facades to be easily renovated and repaired. With this acquisition we can offer a portfolio of holistic, ecological solutions for the entire building envelope that we need to meet the challenge of climate change and its impacts
