Girnghuber GmbH is a traditional company now under fourth-generation ownership. This brickworks business was acquired in 1903 by the great grandmother of the current CEO Claus Girnghuber and has been in family ownership since then.
Ever since, the GIMA brickworks have been guided by a sense of tradition and an entrepreneurial grasp of the bigger picture. If you are looking for a special size or type of ceramics, or wish to develop a new color of brick, you are in the best of hands at GIMA.
“What sets us apart is the breadth of our product range. We are the only manufacturer who makes almost the entire range of ceramic construction materials. And together with tradition and experience, which of course many companies in this sector also have, we can offer an ultimate range of versatility coupled with a great willingness to innovate. We like being the first to make things, and we are committed to satisfying customer wishes by doing so”, explains proprietor Claus Girnghuber.
Whenever visible quality over a lifetime is called for in relation to paving and products for facades, involving extremely individual bespoke manufacturing, we fully commit our huge development and production potential. That is because here at GIMA we work hard on each project to gain a close understanding of what our customers wish to have, and we develop made-to-measure solutions. We have been committed to creating quality ceramic products for over a century.

The new building ensemble NeuHouse in the southern Friedrichstadt combines one of the last structural testimonies of classicism, a listed old building from 1847/48 with a modern new building made of light clinker brick by GIMA. Refined facade details such as the perforated clinker parapets cite the detailed design of the stucco facade in a contemporary way. Photos: © Koy+Winkel
This open storage facility project by architects Herzog & de Meuron enables the Vitra Design Museum to open its doors to the public to showcase its collection of chairs, armchairs and recliners. Over a floor area of 1600 square metres, more than 400 key works are on show here, made between 1800 and the present day. The windowless brickwork structure is an inconspicuous backdrop to this wealth of design history. However, this latest new building on the Vitra Campus is not just a simple barn with a pitched roof and a door – the gleaming red building shell made of hand-broken bricks is reminiscent of fabric, and appears to flow smoothly into the forecourt, which is also paved with brick.
