Packer Brick, Inc. has been in
business for almost fifty years. V.J. Packer started the family
business by hauling in brick from Mexico and selling it in the
Houston area during the early 1950s. He moved the business to Dallas
and began selling used "antique" brick as well. As the
business grew in the '60s, the company began importing antique brick
from Chicago and Oklahoma.
In 1968, Jerry Packer took over the
business, and Packer Brick continued selling Mexican and antique
brick exclusively to residential home builders in the North Dallas
market. Brett Packer joined the business in 1985, just in time to
experience the collapse of the housing market in the late '80s.
That collapse turned out to be a
blessing in disguise, as it allowed the company to begin selling
manufactured brick. As a result, Packer Brick was ready for the
phenomenal growth in the market today. Because of the great
relationships the Packers and their associates have built with its
suppliers, manufactured brick now makes up over 75% of Packer
Brick's total sales and enables the company to continue to offer a
wide variety of antique and manufactured brick to old and new
customers alike.
