Wienerberger : provides rapid assistance to earthquake victims in Croatia

Wienerberger's emergency aid initiative has so far provided approximately 150 tonnes of Porotherm clay blocks, clay roof tiles and 8,500 Pipelife pipes plus 800 pipe fittings and joints free of charge. This ensures that aid is provided to those who are homeless and creates the basis for an organized reconstruction of the areas that have been destroyed. Wienerberger has closely collaborated with the local authorities to enable the swift delivery of the urgently needed materials.

The company's employees are also providing support. In the next few weeks, staff at Wienerberger Croatia and Slovenia, Semmelrock and Pipelife will be collecting donations of food, hygiene articles, and other necessary items.

Following the rapid initial aid, Wienerberger will also be actively involved in the phase of organized reconstruction in the affected areas. Together with partners, we will build new houses that meet the highest standards in terms of earthquake resistance. As a leading international supplier of smart solutions for the entire building envelope and infrastructure, the company has a first-class portfolio of earthquake-resistant construction materials that were developed and optimized for precisely this area of application.
