About Senftenbacher

Senftenbacher Ziegelwerk Flotzinger GmbH is an Austrian brick manufacturer based in Senftenbach in the Innviertel region (Upper Austria). Founded in 1889, the family-run company produces bricks and plan bricks for masonry construction, including wall bricks in various thicknesses (10 to 50 cm), floor slab bricks, jamb blocks, starter blocks, half bricks, accessories as well as the brick box for individual sun protection. The base material is clay from the region; according to the company, the same clay used for the bricks comes from sources such as the Kurhaus Schärding for therapeutic applications. The products are installed in classic masonry with mortar, with thin-bed mortar or using the dry-fix method, and are characterised by the combination of thermal insulation and compressive strength. The range of services includes delivery with the company's own fleet or selected logistics partners, support with product selection and planning, as well as the Senftenbacher Academy with product and installation training and a seminar room for around 80 people.
