To help homebuyers identify and obtain the quality that they desire, the Acme name is stamped onto select residential brick, typically visible along windowsills and at corners. Quality and service have made Acme Brick the nation's largest American-owned brickmaker. Today, Acme Brick Company is owned by Berkshire Hathaway, Inc.
