A shortage of building products in Western Australia in 1946 encouraged brothers Ric and Gerry New to produce their own bricks. Locating suitable clays in Middle Swan close to the WA town of Midland, they founded Midland Brick Company and started manufacturing bricks. In 1990 the company became a division of Boral. Today Midland Brick is the largest clay brick manufacturer on one site in the world. The company has been acknowledged in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest brickworks in the world.As part of the Boral Group, Australia’s largest building and construction materials supplier, Midland Brick has expanded its building products range far beyond clay bricks and clay pavers to also include masonry concrete bricks and blocks, masonry concrete pavers, retaining walls and timber flooring.From ground to roof, home builders can virtually shop 'one stop' at Midland Brick.
