   Wienerberger takes over brick plant from Otto Bergmann GmbH in Germany

     • Wienerberger strengthens its regional presence in North Rhine
       Westphalia in the field of high-thermal-insulation Poroton clay blocks
     • The acquisition of this plant is yet another step for Wienerberger
       toward the goal of climate neutrality and creates a sustainable basis
       for further profitable growth

   Vienna, December 19, 2022 – As of January 3, 2023, Wienerberger GmbH in
   Germany takes over the Steinheim brick plant of Otto Bergmann GmbH in
   North Rhine Westphalia. By acquiring this plant, which will specialize in
   the production of high-thermal-insulation Poroton clay blocks,
   Wienerberger is expanding its production capacities and strengthening its
   regional market position. As one of the most important market participants
   in Germany and a standard-setter of the European construction industry,
   Wienerberger is continuously expanding its business in accordance with
   market requirements. With the acquisition of this brick plant,
   Wienerberger is consistently and successfully pursuing its sustainable
   development into a system provider committed to the ambitious ESG targets
   of the Group. 

   “With bricks as a durable and environment-friendly building material, and
   given our strength in innovation, we have always acted as a pioneer in our
   industry and evolved into a full-range provider of solutions for the
   entire sector of building, water, and energy management. By taking over
   the Steinheim brick plant, we are demonstrating our commitment to
   long-term growth even in economically challenging times and further
   expanding the production of sustainable clay building materials. Owing to
   their durability and their regional availability, clay blocks, in
   particular, play an essential role in the construction of energy-efficient
   and affordable housing”, says Heimo Scheuch, Chairman of the Managing
   Board of Wienerberger AG.  

   Investing in the future

   The Steinheim production site of Bergmann’s, a family-owned business based
   in North Rhine Westphalia with a long tradition as a regional manufacturer
   with a strong focus on customer proximity, enables Wienerberger to
   position itself as a supplier of locally produced sustainable bricks. The
   plant’s long-serving workforce of roughly 35 employees will become part of
   Wienerberger Germany and make a valuable contribution to Wienerberger’s
   continued success.

   solutions for the entire building envelope and for infrastructure.
