The raw clay is excavated from the company’s own local reserves and fed into a large silo where it is mixed with water to form a slurry. This is then passed through a fine sieve to remove stones, grit and other deleterious items including vegetable matter before being pumped into a large filter press.

We love design. That’s how we got here.

2023 is an exciting landmark in the history of Sahtas with the company celebrating its 44th anniversary and the third generation of family ownership amidst a rapidly expanding network of representatives, stockists and distributors around the world.

The continued and successful growth of Sahtas together with substantial demand from international customers in countries including UK.The United States, Canada,Belgium. The Netherlands Denmark, Romania and Italy has resulted in the owners deciding to make a substantial investment in the long term future of the company and build a new, state-of-the-art factory at its base in Izmir on the Turkish Aegean coast.

For the last 44 years the company’s output of clay roof tiles, bricks has relied on traditional handmaking techniques utilising a Hoffmann kiln, the design of which was first patented by Friedrich Hoffmann in 1858,

During recent years the interest from new customers in different countries around the globe has created demand not only for significantly increased volumes but also a much more variable range of products to match the architectural vernacular of those countries. In addition to the core range of roof tiles and bricks. already hugely popular in the UK, the new products and brands includes brick slips, facade tiles, floor tiles and high quality hand-made glazed ceramics. Very early in the planning process of the new factory it became apparent that Sahtas would have to build production facilities that allowed the company to maintain and protect its very traditional handmaking processes for its core market of roof tiles and bricks but also introduce sophisticated manufacturing machinery along with high-speed tunnel and shuttle kilns to allow new, high volume products into its portfolio. All of this is incorporated into the new factory covering 22,000m2 of floor space on a 3.5 hectare site. Work on the new factory is almost complete accept one or two more kilns to be installed in the next few years to achieve min 15.000 ton annual capacity. One very important thing that has been carried from the existing to the new factory is the advanced and unique-to-Sahtas process of clay washing.
