Our founder, George Bennett, chose the name Acme (“the highest point,” according to Merriam- Webster) because he knew that superior quality was the key to longevity. Inspired by George Bennett’s commitment, our company has grown from a single facility to become the largest U.S.-owned brick manufacturer - with a network of 33 plants and nearly 70 sales locations. We operate in 14 U.S. states, and we now seek the associates who will help build our company for the next 125 years. Not only do we build for the long term, we hire for the long term as well. One of every six associates has 20 years’ experience or more. Many of us are second- and even third-generation associates. If you aspire to work at “the highest point,” we invite you to consider a career with Acme Brick Company. Company Description Acme Brick Company was founded in 1891 with staying power in mind.
