About Brauchli Ziegelei AG
Brauchli Ziegelei AG, based in Berg in the canton of Thurgau, was founded in 1863 and belongs to ALBIT HOLDING AG, a purely family-owned holding company. The company is 100 % owned by the Brauchli siblings and has been led since 2012 by Silvia Brauchli and Gabriela Brauchli Martini. Having emerged from a simple drainpipe factory, the company is today part of Kubrix AG, the largest Swiss supplier of bricks for masonry. With the brands lehmling.com and coeurdeterre.ch, the company is transforming itself from a specialist in coarse ceramics to an all-rounder for fine ceramics, design, development and engineering. Its areas of expertise include design & engineering, masonry made of bricks, printforming & handfinishing as well as project developments. Production is based on the raw materials clay and loam; the products are aimed at builders and project partners in Switzerland.
