Tehelňa Gbely, S.r.o.

The foundation of the Brickworks dates back to 1905 when a local inn-keeper, Armín Herman Grunmandl, had bought production lands and started with clay processing. Later in 1939 the Brickworks were bought by a famous surgeon, Konštantín Čársky, originally native-born in Gbely. Following the nationalization, the restituted Brickworks were then returned back to his family. Since 1994 the Brickworks, named as Gbely Brickworks Ltd., have been registered in the Commercial Register of the Slovak Republic. Nowadays the company produces burnt clay bricks in a traditional way and while keeping in line with latest trends in eco-building it has also come to processing of wood for construction of frameworks and low energy prefabricated houses. For such types of buildings, the company has also adopted a production of unburnt clay bricks. As the present owners of the Brickworks we would gladly like to take the opportunity to let you know more about our company, the way of its production and its individual products.
