Innovation is all about embracing change. We actively look for ways to reflect, refine and improve on what we produce. More than taking on market challenges we find new opportunities within our business environment.

With vision and innovation, we can maintain our leading position in the market. By investing in technology and discovery, we can deliver better products and anticipate the needs of our industry as it evolves.

“When we come up with something new or unexpected it’s very exciting.”

Staying at the forefront of the construction industry takes a sense of adventure. Being open to new ideas is a big part of Taka’s approach to developing new products. “We aim for certain things of course but the outcome is unknown,” he says. “When we come up with something new or unexpected it’s very exciting.” And when it comes to preparing for a successful product launch, a thorough reality check makes a big difference. “We have a discussion with other departments and architects,” says Taka. “So before it goes to market we make sure everyone’s quite happy with the product.”

Innovation in Brickworks products is often inspired by the creativity of our customers. “The architecture market is constantly coming up with new ways to use bricks,” says Taka. “By being innovative with our products, we improve the properties of bricks so we can keep advancing, and are always seeing bricks in a lot of different places.”
