Tegelmaester

What Tegelmaester does

Tegelmäster is a Swedish brick and masonry products supplier, founded in 1999 and headquartered in Malmö. The company distributes and sells facade bricks, screen bricks, paving bricks, roofing tiles, brick beams, mortar, brick ties, brackets, and complementary masonry accessories, with products physically sourced from three Danish brickworks owned by its parent companies — Gråsten Teglvaerk A/S, Matzen Teglvaerk A/S, and Petersen Tegl A/S — all located on Jutland, Denmark. Tegelmäster's flagship sustainability line, BrickECO™, is produced with biogas and carbon capture technology that reduces CO2 footprint by 94% to under 10 kg per ton, billed as the world's first carbon capture project in brick production. Following the 2024 acquisition of Bara Mineraler's brick beam production, Tegelmäster also operates an in-house brick beam manufacturing facility in Bara, Sweden, doubling production volume and adding Swedish vertical integration to its previously Danish-only production base.

Tegelmäster operates a project-based B2B sales model targeting architects, construction companies, and property developers across Sweden, supported by regional project sales representatives, inside sales coordinators, and showrooms in Malmö, Stockholm (Studio B3), and Gothenburg. The company embeds technical services into its offering — masonry engineering documentation, BIM support for Revit and ArchiCAD, a proprietary Murdesigner visualization tool, early-stage project planning, training programs, and Tegelsafari® events — which makes Tegelmäster a specification partner rather than a pure commodity distributor. Pricing is quote-based per project and not publicly disclosed; private individuals are referred to building materials retailers. Revenue streams combine one-time B2B product sales with bundled professional engineering services and own-manufactured hardware (brick beams).

The business holds CE marking, multiple EPDs across brick and mortar SKUs, listings in Byggvarubedömningen (BVB) and SundaHus, and memberships in Sweden Green Building Council and LFM30 (Lokal Färdplan Malmö). Reference projects include award-winning developments such as Studio 1 (Kasper Salin Prize 2016), Astoria / Nybrogatan 17 (MIPIM 2022), Länsförsäkringar Halland (Årets Fasad 2021), and Krøyers Plads in Copenhagen (MIPIM 2015), as well as municipal and international work such as Kristianstad street paving and the Lisser Art Museum in Amsterdam. The company is certified by Great Place to Work and was ranked Skåne's 5th best workplace in 2025.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Wienerberger AG: World's largest producer of clay bricks and a broad incumbent in wall, roof, and paving solutions. Directly competes with Tegelmäster's core clay brick offering in Sweden and across Europe, with vastly greater scale, R&D capacity, and international footprint.
• CRH plc: Global building materials group with significant European brick and masonry operations. A broad incumbent that competes across Tegelmäster's category with broader portfolio, greater capital, and pan-European distribution.
• Saint-Gobain (Weber): Global building materials giant whose Weber brand supplies mortar and facade systems already used as a partner by Tegelmäster. Broad incumbent with overlapping masonry ecosystem and greater capacity for specification drives and standards work.

Direct peers

• Benders Sverige AB: Swedish building products supplier offering concrete roof tiles, paving, and masonry-adjacent products. Comparable Swedish B2B distributor with overlapping customer base in construction projects and similar project-sales model.
• Röben Tonbaustoffe GmbH: German family-owned brick manufacturer offering facade, clinker, and paving bricks with a strong premium and sustainability positioning. Comparable product portfolio, heritage ownership model, and emphasis on architectural specification markets.
• Feldhaus Klinker Vertriebs-GmbH: German manufacturer of clinker facing bricks and paving bricks with strong export reach across Northern Europe. Comparable premium masonry manufacturer competing for architect specifications in the same facade category.
• Hagmans Klinker & Tegel: Swedish supplier of clinker and brick products for facades and landscaping. Directly competes with Tegelmäster in the Swedish project market, serving overlapping architect and contractor customers with comparable masonry offerings.

Regional players
