For over 50 years, family-owned Old Carolina Brick Company continues to preserve the art of making brick by hand. Although our operation is modern, we have kept the timeless process of throwing the clay by hand into molds.

About Us

Our skilled mud throwers form a clump of clay into a wedge shape, roll it in sand, and drop it into a mold. This hand molding operation imparts distinctive folds, finger marks and other surface irregularities which make each brick individually and uniquely characterized.



Colonial brick makers used a batch firing process which made control of quality and brick durability rather difficult. After the forming operation, Old Carolina® brick are fired with clean, efficient natural gas in a modern tunnel kiln to assure a consistent high quality and structurally durable brick. Old Carolina® brick have the same warm and earthy colors found in brick made hundreds of years ago.

After firing, Old Carolina® brick are then blended and packaged on a modern monorail into our unique double pack cube. This type of package, which uses extra strapping half way up the cube, insures the brick arrive at the job in perfect condition. From the clay mining to final shipping of the brick, full quality control measures are used in our plant operations to achieve a beautiful, durable, and well blended brick in the wall.
