40 Years of Rustic Elegance – The Fulfillment of One Man’s Dream
Arto Brick celebrates 40th Anniversary in 2006
July 17, 2006 (Gardena, CA)
Introduction - Arto Brick is celebrating its 40th year producing handmade building products in Southern California. In an era when most products are machine made and/or imported Arto Brick is unique in that every one of our products is handcrafted in Southern California. The success of Arto Brick is a testament to the vision and perseverance of one man and the most timeless of American stories – a man with a dream.
History - Drawing upon his experience as an artist and installer, Arto created handcrafted brick veneer that was both beautiful and easy to install. The product line has since grown to include tile & pavers, wall & pier caps, pool coping, balusters, moldings, liners & decos and we are continually adding new products, styles, sizes, colors & textures to meet our customers’ needs.
Innovation - Although Arto Brick is well known for its signature “rustic elegance” Arto has always made innovative use of the latest technology. Arto originally worked with kiln-fired ceramics until costs skyrocketed during the energy crisis in the early 1970's. Always a visionary, Arto seized upon the idea of using concrete to minimize energy costs. Impressed by the beauty and flexibility allowed by this venerable but (then) underutilized material, Arto has used concrete ever since for each and every product.
Future - The newest feature at www.artobrick.com exemplifies both the flexibility allowed by concrete and the spirit of innovation that drives Arto Brick. From the convenience of their home or office visitors to our website can now access a digital color matrix to quickly and easily select custom colors to match existing surfaces or to create a unique look for their project.
Acknowledgements - We would like to thank all our customers and friends for their support over our first forty years and look forward to many more exciting projects and products in the future.
