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.
