About Us

General Shale’s acquisition of Meridian Brick introduced the company to Southwest U.S markets — regions with a deep heritage of brick-making and construction. The six plants in Texas and two plants in Oklahoma, including all distribution centers, are now formally known as “Red River Brick.” Red River Brick draws its name from the Red River of the South, which runs throughout a large portion of the Southern U.S. The name recognition extends the brand footprint to include key areas of the region where production sites and distribution centers are located. “Knowing this would be our company’s introduction into sizable markets in Texas and Oklahoma, we wanted to capitalize on this opportunity through a name that is unique, memorable and regionally relevant,” Charles Smith, President & CEO, explains. The Red River Brick brand consists of more than 60 unique residential colors across eight collections and provides an architectural offering that will position Red River Brick as the preferred brick brand in the Southern and Midwest regions of the U.S.
