About Us

FAMILY-OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1919

UNCOMPROMISED EXCELLENCE.

At Palmetto Brick, our mission is simple:

to manufacture a superior product that combines the highest quality materials with top-notch service.


Ever since our first brick came off the line almost a century ago, we have strived to provide a level of customer satisfaction and product quality that’s unparalleled in the industry and reflective of our deep, family-owned roots.


To us, brick making is about more than the blending of clay and water.


It’s about building personal customer relationships and long-term bonds through an uncompromised standard of excellence. And that’s something Palmetto Brick brings to each of its clients every day, whether you’re building a single residence or a public space to be used by thousands.

FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED SINCE 1919.

Palmetto Brick is a legacy in the American history of family-owned brick makers.


In 1919, J.L. Anderson – using traditional beehive kilns and an adjacent railway line in the Great Pee Dee River valley – founded a brick company in upper South Carolina with a focus on making a quality product at a fair price. He not only set the tone for operations at Palmetto Brick, but also for four generations of the Anderson family, who have directed the company as master craftsmen ever since.


The one constant in the company’s long history has been the continuation of Mr. Anderson’s vision: his emphasis on value and his unwavering commitment to creating quality bricks of strength and elegance.


Today, Palmetto Brick is the largest family-owned brick maker in South Carolina, with a capacity to produce more than 150 million brick per year, and remains one of only a handful of American-owned and operated brick manufacturers in the U.S.
