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.
