Founded In Columbia, South Carolina In 1939 to produce firebrick originally, Carolina Ceramics, now US Brick, has certainly transitioned over the years. Still locally owned and operated, customer service remains our top priority. Our commitment to advanced engineering, an extensive array of colors, sizes and shapes continue to inspire architectural excellence. Modernized robotic technology and index fired kilns have replaced the original beehive kilns and labor-intensive methods. Our brick making capabilities have grown from 2 million a year to 80 million a year. While proud of continued technological advancements and industry successes over the decades, we are most proud of our commitment to our valued customers. US Brick considers the partnerships with its distributors nationwide to be the cornerstone of its success.
