Strong Beginnings as a Brick Manufacturer
 Founded
in 1908, Watsontown Brick began as a brick manufacturer
by making primarily 4" x 4" x 10" paving
bricks which were used on neighboring city streets. Through
the years, the brick manufacturer gradually shifted to
the production of extruded face brick, which now forms
the nucleus of its product line. Located near the banks
of the Susquehanna River in the resource-rich Appalachian
Mountains, Watsontown Brick has access to an abundant
supply of superior raw materials that go into the manufacturing
of outstanding brick products.
 As
a brick manufacturer over the decades, Watsontown
Brick has consistently added new face and paving brick
products. And the brick manufacturer's distribution
network grew, reaching far beyond its original home
market.
Watsontown's brick manufacturing plants stand on the
original site, and are operated by the grandson of the
founder. As a brick manufacturer, Watsontown Brick
follows the same time-honored traditions of quality,
aesthetics, and customer satisfaction started three
generations ago.
Watsontown Brick products can be found on tens of thousands
of distinctive homes and award-winning commercial buildings
in the Northeast and Midwest United States. Watsontown
Brick is a brick manufacturer that continues to work
diligently to meet growing demands of the brickmaking
industry as more homebuilders and designers learn of
its unique and reliable product line.
Brick Manufacturer Excellence
 The
central theme for conducting business at Watsontown
Brick, one of the nation's highest quality brick manufacturers,
has remained the same since 1908 - to manufacture
face and paving brick products that meet and exceed
our customers' requirements for quality, color, finish,
and value. Although the 21st century technology we use
as a brick manufacturer today is vastly superior
to former processes, the basic ingredients inherent
in brickmaking excellence remain the same: high-quality
shale, pure water, and fine sands.
Our brick manufacturer shale comes from one source,
assuring a consistent, reliable product. Mined from
our own Pennsylvania quarry, this native red shale is
among the finest in the brick manufacturer industry.
The water used to produce Watsontown brick is drawn
from deep wells, filtered, and tested regularly for
purity. The sands that create Watsontown Brick's distinctive
palette of colors come from select sources around the
country. These elements are carefully combined, processed,
tested, and fired by an experienced team of brick manufacturer
craftsmen, who are some of the finest brickmakers in
the world. Routine product testing assures our customers
that our brick meets all current ASTM brick manufacturer
specifications.
In 2001, nearly a century after the original plant
opened its doors, Watsontown Brick launched production
in a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.
Perfectly integrated with the existing operation, this
brick manufacturer's new facility was designed to take
the art and craft of brickmaking into the future. Through
the advantages of automation, robotics, and high-temperature
kilns, this environmentally responsible brick manufacturing
plant has the capability to manufacture a wide range
of extremely high-quality brick. These products greatly
add to the creative options available to designers,
builders, and owners, and places this Watsontown brick
manufacturer in the forefront of the American brickmaking
industry.
Our unique combination of superior materials, advanced
manufacturing technology, and dedicated brick manufacturer
craftsmen assures every Watsontown Brick customer the
utmost in quality, selection, and reliability.
