Winston-Salem, NC – November 4, 2002 – Winston-Salem-based Pine Hall Brick opened a new, modern showroom and full service masonry supply yard in Greensboro last week. The two-acre facility is the first to be completed in the newly constructed New Garden Village that relocated due to city expansion.

“We employed the most advanced ideas from some top designers in order to service a wide customer base”, said Harold Beaty, retail sales manager. “We service builders, architects, contractors and consumers from the surrounding six counties and they all have different needs that we satisfy.”

Pine Hall Brick’s elegant brick building is designed to look like an old, “renovated warehouse”. But, it is anything but old. The modern facility features indoor and outdoor display areas to showcase not only the company’s popular ranges of face brick and clay pavers but also some of the most popular brick products from around the country. Customers can see tumbled brick, wood mold brick, thin brick for interior applications and add-mix brick typically used for commercial buildings. In addition, the company will stock masonry block in three sizes, colored mortar, tools and masonry supplies.

The showroom will be open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Technical experts will be on hand to assist customers with questions and planning decisions and product selections. An advanced design delivery truck with a portable fork lift is on hand to complement the company’s existing fleet of 23 trucks operating from their manufacturing complex in Madison, NC.

“Our new location in Greensboro demonstrates Pine Hall Brick’s continued commitment to the Triad region,” said Fletcher Steele, president of Pine Hall Brick. “The synergy created through the New Garden Village concept and the participating vendors on the previous site gave us the confidence needed to expand our operations in a major way at the new location.”

Pine Hall Brick has additional showrooms located in Winston-Salem, Charlotte and Madison, NC.

Founded in 1922, Pine Hall Brick is a family-owned company that manufactures face brick, pavers and special-shape brick. As a previous recipient of the Triad Top 25 fastest growing companies award, the company is continuing its growth strategies by opening another brick plant near Calhoun, Georgia.

The company has headquarters in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and has approximately 150 distributors in over 35 states. Visit www.pinehallbrick.com for more information.
