Brickworks is a conglomerate consisting of building product manufacturing operations, property management, and a cross-shareholding in ASX-listed investment firm, Washington H. Soul Pattinson & Company, or Soul Patts.
State and federal government policy to increase supply of Australian housing over the coming years supports near-term demand for brick volumes.
Brick use is expected to decline due to a greater range of alternative building materials, smaller house sizes, and a change in design preferences and building types.
