Description
Cape Brick was founded in 1938 and occupied the site alongside the Salt River power station in Paarden Eiland. Originally the company was contracted to transport the waste ash out of the power station. This product was then used to make bricks as well as being sold on to clay brick manufacturers. The ash bricks were originally used to build fortifications during the 2nd World War. In 1975 with the imminent decommissioning of the power station, the company changed its product line to the more modern dense concrete products. The concrete masonry gained good market acceptance and the company was able to continue its operation at the site.
Company description
Cape Brick is, and always has been a family business. Originally started by Sonny Gracie and run for many years by his sons Peter and Mike Gracie, Cape Brick is managed today by the third generation of the Gracie/Tresfon family. The combination of old and new management has proved extremely successful. The company is also fortunate to have Mike Smit of MSC Construction as a partner. His vast technical building knowledge and feedback is always invaluable.
The company is today one of the leading manufacturers of concrete products in the Western Cape. Cape Brick is ideally located in Salt River, only 5km from the city centre, and is also the closest large-scale masonry manufacturer to the Atlantic Seaboard and the Southern Suburbs.
