Triangle Brick Company says it will build a new brick plant in Clay County, Texas, located approximately 10 miles south of Henrietta on Hwy 287.
Triangle Brick Company has selected Rogers-O’Brien Construction Company of Dallas, Texas, as its partner for the design and construction of the new plant.
