Formed in 1994, Makana Brick has grown to become the largest clay brick manufacturer between Durban and Cape Town, and a pillar of its local community.

After more than R120 million worth of investment into plant and infrastructure, Makana Brick now boasts one of the most technologically advanced clay brick plants in the country, producing a full range of clay brick products, including face bricks, stock bricks and pavers.

The world class facilities have resulted in Makana Brick being able to produce high volumes of the best quality clay bricks utilising a fully integrated transport system, backed up through a dynamic sales team and a host of accredited partners across the region.

With quick turnaround times, stock availability, value for money, world class products and a no hassles after sales philosophy, Makana Brick is the leader in clay bricks in the region and offer a peace of mind building solution.

Clay bricks are the strongest and most durable building material known to man. The durability of clay bricks is almost impossible to match. The products are of the earth, forged by entirely natural elements, and fired at temperatures over 1000 C, resulting in a final product that will last for decades, generations and through centuries.

The strength of the product results in minimal maintenance over the life of a building, and in the case of face brick buildings, no maintenance is required to the walls, making clay brick the most cost effective building solution. The durability of clay bricks is almost impossible to match.

In addition to this, clay bricks are arguably the most energy efficient building material available. The thermal properties of clay bricks allow them to make optimal use of energy, which results in the end user consuming less electricity through temperature control.

Being a major part of the community, we recognise that the future of the planet is dependent on our actions today, which is why we are proud that technically advanced Makana Brick factory also lends itself to a cleaner, more streamlines manufacturing process, with less wastage.

But its not all about strength and being environmentally friendly. Clay face brick exists in a variety of colours and shading, exhibiting an ageless beauty. Very few things in life never go out of style or fashion, and clay brick is one of those things. They are part of our background.
