Glen-Gery was founded in 1890 during the height of the Industrial Revolution, in Reading, Pennsylvania, by A.A. Gery. Starting out with only 32 acres of land rich in fire clay near the Reading Railroad.

Over the years, Glen-Gery continued to grow by acquiring additional manufacturing facilities to develop one of the most diversified product lines in the industry. These products include extruded brick, molded brick, glazed brick, klaycoat brick, handmade brick, thin brick and paving brick.

Today, Glen-Gery operates 10 manufacturing plants and 10 retail centers. Glen-Gery is one of the largest brick manufacturers in the U.S.

Although a century beyond its modest origins, Glen-Gery still maintains the high standards established from its inception: quality, honesty, innovation and integrity.

Leading the Brick Manufacturing Industry in Innovation

For some companies, innovation is a buzzword — for Triangle Brick Company, it’s a way of life.

Every single brick we manufacture features innovation to its core: solid brick limited to 25% void and produced to meet or exceed ASTM C216 - Grade SW - Type FBS, proprietary color blending, recycled materials and more. All of this, packed into one brick by the use of advanced robotics, clean-air initiatives, and industry-leading best practices.  

Rest assured, when you use Triangle Brick, you are partnering with a team focused on safety, efficiency, sustainability and innovation.  

We did not just stop at the brick — we also innovated the way brick is packaged. Our Half Pack™ Technology was created with the masonry contractor in mind. The pre-blended packaging is more stable and easier to handle than traditional packaging, strapped for easy movement onto scaffolding and around the jobsite, most importantly, our customers tell us it reduces masonry labor costs while increasing job-site safety.
