ClayTec from Viersen produces and sells building materials made of clay via the building materials trade. We are an owner-managed, medium-sized family business.

ClayTec originated from a craft business, core competence, basic products and application techniques are the result of our own practice and experience. The aim of the company was and is to make clay as a building material available for modern construction and to integrate it into its structures.

Event highlight: “Frugal Bauen” focused on clay as the building material of the future at Architecture Summer ’23

The “Frugal Bauen” collective started in summer 2022 as a series of lectures initiated by students at HafenCity University (HCU). “Frugality” means something like “modesty” or “simplicity”. It is intended to characterize a counter-movement to current building practice. “Frugal Bauen” aims to revive the old knowledge of traditional building methods and initiate change. The aim of the collective is to create trust among architects and non-architects in a wide range of ecological building materials (e.g. clay, straw, wood, hemp lime, seaweed).
