The 71st annual Clemson Brick Forum

The Clemson Brick Forum is an international brick industry conference held each year in Anderson, South Carolina. For 71 years, it has played a vital role in the U.S. brick industry. The event is organized by the National Brick Research Center, part of Clemson University’s College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences.

With its mission of bringing “brick people to brick people,” the forum features practical and educational insights from industry leaders to heavy clay manufacturers. Key topics this year include energy-saving technologies, digitalization and sustainability.

This year, our Advanced Materials and Performance Coatings teams are partnering to showcase Vibrantz’s broad portfolio of brick products and highlight our focus on sustainability. Alejandro Martí, an expert from our Vibrantz Benicarló division, will be a featured speaker, sharing the environmental benefits and cost savings of using digital printing to rework and replicate brick, roof tile and wall claddings — specifically with Vibrantz’s Coverinks pigmented inks for structural ceramics.

Additionally, Bryce Switzer, our brick and tile business manager, will unveil Vibrantz’s 2025–2026 brick color forecast. These new colors reflect contemporary styles and emerging trends and are designed to align with evolving industry and consumer preferences.
