Go for Brick
The brick industry has had an exceptionally rough time over the last couple of years. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, shipments of brick (building or common and facing) decreased more than 31% in 2008 from the previous year, while the value of those shipments was down by over 33%. The previous year fared little better, with 2007 shipments decreasing 20% compared to 2006 and value down nearly 18%. Logic dictates that the global recession will not last forever. How can brick manufacturers ensure that they're prepared to move forward when the economy recovers?
