   State-of-the-art brick production: wienerberger modernized plant in
   Romania

     • The brick plant in Berca, Romania, was converted into a
       high-efficiency state-of-the-art facility with reduced resource
       utiliziation and significant CO2 savings
     • Products and solutions manufactured in Berca considerably contribute
       to the construction of net zero buildings

   Vienna, September 17, 2024 – As part of its ongoing investment in the
   comprehensive ecological transformation of its global value chain,
   wienerberger, the leading international provider of innovative solutions
   for the entire building envelope, has modernized its brick plant in Berca,
   Romania, over the past 8 months. Sustainability was a key focus of this
   investment, and the factory meets the highest standards in terms of
   efficiency and environmental impact. Equipped with state-of-the-art
   technology, it enhances production efficiency while reducing resource
   utilization. Additionally, carbon emissions will be reduced by
   approximately 4,000 tons per year thanks to a new drying process. The
   plant was officially reopened on September 16.

   wienerberger has been present in Romania since 1998 and is one of the
   country's largest producers of building materials. With Berca, the company
   operates a total of seven production sites in the country and employs
   around 550 people. The production site is located near Bucharest, a city
   with significant construction activity and strong demand for wienerberger
   products, which support the development of net zero buildings.

   Step towards sustainability and climate neutrality

   Heimo Scheuch, CEO of wienerberger, says: “The Romanian market is of great
   importance to us. I am therefore particularly pleased that we are opening
   our next state-of-the-art ecological plant in Berca. This step will not
   only strengthen the regional economy, it also moves us forward on our path
   towards resource-saving and sustainable production. With these and other
   innovative solutions, we will achieve climate neutrality along the entire
   value chain by 2050.”

   As a center of excellence for sustainable production, the brick plant in
   Berca is constantly being developed further with new technologies. This
   makes the plant an essential part of wienerberger's overall sustainability
   strategy. Within the framework of its sustainability program, wienerberger
   is pursuing ambitious targets. With its focus on decarbonization, a
   circular economy, and biodiversity, among others, the company is setting
   the course for a sustainable and desirable future for generations to come
   and supporting the European Green Deal. The targets of the program are
   updated every three years, most recently in 2023. Among other things, the
   company will reduce its emissions in production by 25% by 2026 and
   increase the proportion of recyclable or reusable products sold to over
   90%. In addition, by then 75% of total building material sales will be
   generated from products for the construction of net-zero buildings with a
   neutral carbon footprint. This makes wienerberger a leading driving force
   towards a sustainable construction industry.

   The reopening-event was attended by the Romanian Minister of Investment
   and European Funds Adrian Câciu, the Romanian Minister of Economy,
   Entrepreneurship and Tourism Radu-Ștefan Oprea, local and central
   authorities, important business partners and members of the local and
   national press.
