PROFILE |
 |
Wienerberger Baustoffindustrie won't stonewall you -- not if a brick wall will do. The building materials company is the world's largest brick maker. Products include brick, concrete ceiling systems, clay tiles for roofs, and hollow and facing brick for walls. The pipe systems and sewage technology unit makes plastic pipe for water and clay pipe for sewage. Wienerberger also operates landfills, garages, and development projects through its real estate portfolio. Wienerberger sells its products in Europe (more than 75% of sales), North America, and Asia. Wienerberger Holding, which is controlled equally by Austrian Creditanstalt AG and Koramic Building Products N.V. (Belgium), owns just over 50% of the company.
