Wienerberger takes over brick plant from Otto Bergmann GmbH in Germany
• Wienerberger strengthens its regional presence in North Rhine
Westphalia in the field of high-thermal-insulation Poroton clay blocks
• The acquisition of this plant is yet another step for Wienerberger
toward the goal of climate neutrality and creates a sustainable basis
for further profitable growth
Vienna, December 19, 2022 – As of January 3, 2023, Wienerberger GmbH in
Germany takes over the Steinheim brick plant of Otto Bergmann GmbH in
North Rhine Westphalia. By acquiring this plant, which will specialize in
the production of high-thermal-insulation Poroton clay blocks,
Wienerberger is expanding its production capacities and strengthening its
regional market position. As one of the most important market participants
in Germany and a standard-setter of the European construction industry,
Wienerberger is continuously expanding its business in accordance with
market requirements. With the acquisition of this brick plant,
Wienerberger is consistently and successfully pursuing its sustainable
development into a system provider committed to the ambitious ESG targets
of the Group.
“With bricks as a durable and environment-friendly building material, and
given our strength in innovation, we have always acted as a pioneer in our
industry and evolved into a full-range provider of solutions for the
entire sector of building, water, and energy management. By taking over
the Steinheim brick plant, we are demonstrating our commitment to
long-term growth even in economically challenging times and further
expanding the production of sustainable clay building materials. Owing to
their durability and their regional availability, clay blocks, in
particular, play an essential role in the construction of energy-efficient
and affordable housing”, says Heimo Scheuch, Chairman of the Managing
Board of Wienerberger AG.
Investing in the future
The Steinheim production site of Bergmann’s, a family-owned business based
in North Rhine Westphalia with a long tradition as a regional manufacturer
with a strong focus on customer proximity, enables Wienerberger to
position itself as a supplier of locally produced sustainable bricks. The
plant’s long-serving workforce of roughly 35 employees will become part of
Wienerberger Germany and make a valuable contribution to Wienerberger’s
continued success.
