Bowral Bricks History
Since 1922, Bowral Bricks have been manufacturing the type of brick sought after by many discerning architects, builders and renovators.
Many heritage projects have taken advantage of the quality and colours produced by Bowral Bricks, as well as the availability of unique profiles used in heritage and federation style buildings.
In 1922, Bowral Bricks were established in a small way on the outskirts of the picturesque township of Bowral nestled in the heart of the Southern Highlands.
Over the years as the needs of industry and housing increased, so too did the output. From humble beginnings servicing the local gentry, Bowral Bricks grew into a large industrial concern employing many people and producing an extensive range of bricks for customers throughout Australia.
Today, Bowral Bricks is owned by Brickworks Ltd, the Parent company to The Austral Brick Company Pty Ltd. Brickworks Ltd is recognised as one of Australia's leading manufacturers of quality clay building products.
The combination of traditional craftsmanship with modern technology will ensure that Austral Bowral dry pressed bricks will remain the benchmark for excellence for many more years to come.
