What Bric mate does
Bricmate Aktiebolag is a Swedish manufacturer and distributor of granite ceramics (granitkeramik / porcelain stoneware) founded in 2007 and headquartered at Odengatan 104 in Stockholm, with a third-party fulfillment warehouse in Hässleholm. The company operates as a subsidiary of Tapwell Group, a Swedish conglomerate whose sister brands include Tapwell, Haven, and Rooh. Its portfolio spans three core categories: interior floor and wall tiles, outdoor tiles for terraces, pool areas, and facades, and made-to-measure countertops for kitchens and bathrooms.
Products are dry-pressed from natural raw materials (feldspar, sand, clay) and fired at high temperature; since 2022, 100% of the assortment has been sourced from European producers in Italy and Spain, including Atlas Concorde, Ceramiche Keope, and Florim, with documented EPDs. Its proprietary 3D.Fit technology aligns surface relief with printed patterns to produce realistic natural-stone textures across series inspired by Gotland limestone (Norrvange), Catalan limestone (Stone Select), Baltic limestone (Runö), German Jura limestone (Jura Select), Portuguese Azul Valverde limestone (Azul), and Swedish marbles such as Kolmården and Glanshammar (Ekeberg marble). Outdoor formats are UV-stable, frost-proof, and slip-resistant.
Bricmate runs a hybrid go-to-market: B2C e-commerce on bricmate.se with Klarna checkout and home delivery via Schenker and DHL; an authorized retailer network; physical showrooms via partnerships with Makajo in Stockholm, Malmö, and Gothenburg; and a dedicated Architect & Project sales department with regional managers covering Stockholm/East, South, Gothenburg/West, and North, plus a Norway countertop sales contact. Countertop pricing is quote-based per surface, cutouts, and edge processing; tile pricing is per square meter, with shipping tiers at 764 kr (under 50 kg) and 1,250 kr (over 50 kg) including 25% VAT. Customers span hospitality (Hotell Styrsö, Hotell Skepparholmen, Hotell Högbo), F&B (Restaurang Stockholm), healthcare (a dental clinic in Finland), retail (a store on Birger Jarlsgatan), and residential developments (a Stockholm housing project and Villa Lidingö).

Bric mate competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Cosentino: Spanish global producer of Silestone quartz, Dekton sintered stone, and Sensa natural stone surfaces. A broad incumbent in the same premium countertop and architectural surfacing category as Bricmate, with much larger scale and a global distribution network that competes for the same architectural specifications.
- Marazzi: Italian ceramic tile manufacturer with broad European and global distribution. Comparable to Bricmate as a large-scale porcelain tile producer that competes in the same Nordic architectural specification market via distributors and dealer networks.
- Porcelanosa: Spanish global manufacturer of ceramic tiles, bathroom, and kitchen surfaces. Broad incumbent that competes with Bricmate across floor/wall tile and countertop categories and has established direct presence in Scandinavian specifier and developer accounts.
- Caesarstone: Global manufacturer of engineered quartz and porcelain surfaces for kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial projects. Comparable to Bricmate on the custom countertop side and on specification-driven sales to architects and developers, though it operates at significantly larger scale globally.
Direct peers
- Neolith (TheSize): Spanish manufacturer of large-format sintered stone surfaces for flooring, walls, countertops, and outdoor use. Directly comparable to Bricmate in large-format porcelain category, target specifier audience, and outdoor/indoor use case positioning.

- Laminam: Italian producer of large-format porcelain slabs for flooring, cladding, and countertops, including outdoor applications. Closely comparable to Bricmate in product (porcelain stoneware slabs and tiles) and in marketing them through design-led architectural channels.
- Florim: Italian manufacturer of porcelain stoneware tiles and large-format slabs, including outdoor products, with strong European and US distribution. Comparable to Bricmate both as a producer in the same supply chain (referenced in Bricmate's EPDs) and as a competing premium porcelain brand.
- Lundhs: Norwegian supplier of natural stone slabs and cut-to-size products for architecture, interiors, and countertops across the Nordics. Most directly comparable to Bricmate as a Nordic premium stone/surface brand selling to architects, developers, and homeowners in overlapping Swedish/Norwegian markets.
