CASE SUMMARY

Company Overview

Founded in 1819 in Vienna and traded since 1869 on the Vienna Stock Exchange, Wienerberger can look back on a great tradition.

Wienerberger encompasses 3 divisions, namely bricks, pipes, and real estate. It operates more than 70 companies and has about 220 plants in some 25 countries.
