With over 204 factories across 30 countries, Wienerberger has become the foremost authority when it comes to natural, sustainable, green building material solution provider. We are headquartered in Vienna, Austria with a turn over of € 2.5 billion in 2014. In 2009, the company started delivering high quality clay building materials to the Indian market. The products are manufactured in the state-of-the-art production facility in Kunigal, Karnataka. The facility is highly automated, engaging robots for material handling and adopts efficient use of locally available raw materials and energy to produce green & sustainable bricks for the Indian Market. Our endeavor was from the very beginning to use an extremely Resource Efficient Brick (REB), without compromising on quality and strength. We developed our flagship brand; Porotherm Smart Bricks whose design allows maximum benefits with almost 60% less resource usage.The raw materials that have gone into the blend are sourced from clay tanks & locally available, recycled materials like rice husk, granite slurry, coal ash etc., with minimum impact to the environment making this a GREEN product, rated by IGBC and GRIHA. Projects include large apartment, villas, educational institutes, hospitals, hotels, commercial complexes and individual houses. Savings from using the bricks are especially large in high rise construction. Other than wall solutions, we also import a range of specialty products from our overseas factories, namely products for façades (Argeton & Aspect) and roofs (Koramic, Macedonian & Mediterrane).
