About Us
We supply over 100 brick types directly from our factories to UK sites. Our clients include large developments, right through to small self build projects.
With a UK operation that’s been established for 25 years, AAB is the wholly-owned UK subsidiary of the leading Dutch brick producer De Risjwaard Baksteen.
We’re experts at manufacturing a range of bricks and special cut bricks. The bulk of our products are manufactured a De Rijswaard, a long-established Dutch plant which produces around 130 million bricks per year.
We also partner with top European producers, Egernsund Tegl, Celina Klinker and Mora Ceramica. We have developed close working relationships with each of these to be able to ensure a seamless and efficient process, passing the value on to our customers.

Factory direct, a value-engineered approach to bricks
The important thing to know about AAB is we are not a factor. A factor is essentially where the middlemen make their profit in the industry. Think builders merchants and other intermediaries. Once they get a price from a manufacturer for a specific build, it’s fixed so you’ll struggle to find that particular brick cheaper elsewhere.
The benefit of these is that, they handle all the logistics by getting your goods to site etc. Something that the factories aren’t set up to do. But we’ve disrupted this and found a better way of doing it. Our business model spans the entire supply chain, right from production to delivery. This means one source of supply, a transparent process and a more value-engineered way of supplying bricks.
The knowledge to deliver your vision
We’re incredibly proud of our people. They have the expertise to help find the best brick products for your project. Whether that’s recommending a brick for a showstopping facade or identifying the best brick special to achieve a particularly tricky goal. They really know their stuff.
Our sales team are partnered based on geographical area and you’ll get to know them both when you work with us. You’ll always have a field-based rep and a desk-based rep which means we can cover everything from site queries to questions about logistics, getting you answers quickly. And we regularly meet up as a group to share knowledge and experiences. If you’d like to know more about how we work, we’d love to hear from you.
