Ceramica, Inc., a family-owned wholesale manufacturer of engraved masonry and stone building materials based in Indianapolis, Indiana has acquired Fundraising Brick, LLC, a provider of laser-engraved brick and fundraising solutions.
This acquisition allows Cermica to expand product offerings, increase production capacity and continue its commitment to delivering high-quality craftsmanship.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Ceramica and Fundraising Brick will continue to operate as separate entities with Zack and Shana Light running both companies, according to a statement from the firm. The Lights are the third generation of the family to lead Ceramica.
Since its founding, Ceramica has been involved with several high-profile projects across Indiana, including the Indiana War Memorial, Indianapolis Zoo, St. Vincent Women’s Hospital, Bartholomew County Veterans Memorial and Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame’s engraved fundraising pavers, which helped raise more than $1 million from an initial $150,000 investment, according to an announcement from the firm.
“This acquisition is the first step in a period of strategic growth, positioning both businesses to successfully evolve and expand,” said Light via a statement. “Sandblasting and laser engraving produce similar brick products, but with unique features and characteristics. Some prefer the efficiency and longevity of lasered bricks, while others prefer handmade craftsmanship that’s evident in sandblasted bricks.”
Following its acquisition of Fundraising Brick, Ceramica is expanding its customer marketing support services to provide a seamless experience from product selection to campaign execution. Ceramica customers will now have access to precision laser engraving on brick, tile and granite, allowing for intricate details, including photo-realistic etchings.
Fundraising Brick customers will benefit from a broader selection of high-quality engraved masonry and stone materials, such as concrete, limestone and granite, according to the announcement. Ceramica is also investing in advanced engraving technology to enhance production efficiency while upholding its high quality standards. Additionally, integrating Fundraising Brick’s proven fundraising support services will empower all customers to execute impactful donor recognition programs with greater success.
