News Articles for Brikmakers

The state's second largest brick maker has reported a half yearly profit of $581 million but says its WA operations are a drag on performance.

BCG's Brikmakers has achieved a win in the state's Administrative Tribunal this week, after it overruled the refusal of the company's proposed clay extraction operation in Upper Swan.

BGC Housing Group has committed to employing up to 50 bricklaying apprentices over the next two years as part of a new apprenticeship program.

BGC's vertically integrated structure is unlike any other business in Australia and will narrow the field of potential buyers.

Building materials manufacturer Brickworks has disclosed that intense competition in the local market meant Western Australia was the only state where it was unable to lift prices for bricks during the past year.
