Over 13 Million Ocon Bricks A Month
This article has been supplied.
Company Announcement - Opening earlier than usual to ensure an average of 876 thousand bricks per day were being manufactured, Ocon Brick supplied over 13 million clay stock and semi-face bricks in the first few weeks of January to fill orders secured late in 2014 and early 2015, putting Ocon Brick on track to meet customer requirements and forecasted manufacturing targets.
Mariana Lamont, Regional Sales Manager for Ocon Brick said “We ended 2014 with a full order book that in part, due to the end of year shut-down, was carried over into 2015. We knew there was a requirement by our customers to hit the ground running in January; to have our bricks delivered to site as soon as possible. Therefore we made a strategic decision to re-open our manufacturing plant five days earlier, so that we were ready and available for when our customer’s returned to their projects and also to service those who do not necessarily shut-down for the entire festive season”.
“We are optimistic about our prospects for this year. It is not without its challenges, such as the electricity supply, but that aside, the order book is looking very healthy going forward. The fact that we offer a superior quality product backed up with reliable and professional technical and sales support, obviously makes us a supplier of choice. There is substantial growth anticipated for the infrastructure, housing and commercial development sector this year and our manufacturing capabilities and product offering, already at nearly 30% over budget, will, I believe, give us the edge” said Lamont.
Ocon Brick is South Africa’s leading supplier of clay stock and semi-face bricks suited to general building work whether it is plastered applications or unplastered designed finishes offering many environmental, fire and safety, thermal insulation and longevity benefits.
