Overview

Röben Tonbaustoffe GmbH is a German mid-sized manufacturer of fired clay building materials, headquartered in Zetel in the Friesland district of Lower Saxony. The company describes itself as a family business that has stood for quality, innovation and reliability for six generations, operating as a flexible mid-sized enterprise with a keen sense for the trends of modern construction. Its core raw materials are the classical ingredients of brick — earth, water, air and fire — which yield extremely long-lasting building products. The product range covers clinker bricks and clinker slips (Klinkerriemchen), facing bricks, porcelain stoneware (Feinsteinzeug), clinker tiles, clay roof tiles, paving clinkers and brick prefabricated components (Ziegel-Fertigteile), as well as shaped bricks (Formziegel). Röben markets these under product lines and formats such as the LDF clinker-slip series ESBJERG, the DORNUM clinker, and the long-format L-Max slip measuring 62 cm in length and only 4 cm in height. Manufacturing is spread across several countries. In Germany, Röben operates plants in Lower Saxony (clinker, facing bricks, porcelain stoneware), North Rhine-Westphalia (roof tiles) and Rhineland-Palatinate (ceramic clinker and clinker slips). Internationally, its subsidiary Triangle Brick in North Carolina, United States, runs five facing-brick plants, the newest of which opened in May 2016 in Clay County near Henrietta, about 150 kilometres north-west of Dallas. In Poland, Röben operates a clinker plant and two roof-tile plants in Neumarkt in Silesia (Woiwodschaft Niederschlesien). Röben positions itself as a mid-sized, family-run alternative in the clay building-materials sector, combining traditional brick-making with contemporary facade design. Its communications emphasise sustainability (NachHaltigkeit), architectural references and digital tools such as a house configurator, alongside a steady stream of new product launches and colour variants for facade cladding.

History

Röben Tonbaustoffe GmbH is a German mid-sized manufacturer of fired clay building materials, headquartered in Zetel in the Friesland district of Lower Saxony. The company presents itself as a family business that has stood for quality, innovation and reliability for six generations, operating as a flexible mid-sized enterprise with a keen sense for the trends of modern construction. Its products are built on the classical raw materials of brick — earth, water, air and fire — which yield extremely long-lasting building materials. Over time the company has expanded its product range beyond traditional clinker bricks and facing bricks to include clinker slips (Klinkerriemchen), porcelain stoneware (Feinsteinzeug), clinker tiles, clay roof tiles, paving clinkers, brick prefabricated components and shaped bricks (Formziegel). Its German manufacturing footprint spans Lower Saxony (clinker, facing bricks, porcelain stoneware), North Rhine-Westphalia (roof tiles) and Rhineland-Palatinate (ceramic clinker and clinker slips). Internationally, Röben has grown through subsidiaries and plants abroad. Its subsidiary Triangle Brick in North Carolina, United States, operates five facing-brick plants; the newest was commissioned in May 2016 in Clay County near Henrietta, about 150 kilometres north-west of Dallas. In Poland, Röben operates a clinker plant and two roof-tile plants in Neumarkt in Silesia (Woiwodschaft Niederschlesien). In recent years the company has continued to launch new products and colour variants, including the LDF clinker-slip series ESBJERG with new red tones marketed as BRICK-DESIGN®, the DORNUM clinker in the rot-blaubunt sorting, and the L-Max slip in an exclusive 62 cm long format. Röben communicates around themes of sustainability (NachHaltigkeit), architectural references and digital tools such as a house configurator.
