ABOUT US
The de la Hunt family has been making clay bricks in the Western Cape since 1970. Started by Garnet de la Hunt as Joostenberg Brick, the company has been operating near Stellenbosch, supplying the local building industry with quality clay bricks, then made with the traditional clamp kiln method.
He was later joined by his son, Julian, who started Claytile in 1987 with a focus on technological advancements that could optimise production methods to ensure reliable supply of high-quality bricks. This ethos of consistent improvement and a love for the clay itself are what has propelled the company forward. With the launch of our rotary kiln in 2019, we greatly increased our capacity for brick making and, four years later, launched a new plant dedicated to crafting architectural and design terracotta products.
Now rebranded as Klay, we are enthusiastically embracing the new possibilities in design and construction that clay products can deliver.
Klay, at its core, is dedicated to building beauty that stands the test of time. Through trends, styles and innovations, it remains the natural choice.

We started making floor tiles in the early 1970′s after the earthquakes in the Western Cape, the first samples were very rough, but as we made more and gained more experience we improved our product.
Between more or less 1975 or 1985 we made studio pottery and also gave pottery classes, but due to poor demand the pottery side was stopped and full attention was given to the floor tiles.
George Hatjigiannakis took over in the early 1990′s and is still running the business making an ever popular hand-made clay floor tile.
