Manufaktura Surowe sp. z o. o. was established in 2021
The name resembles the character of our production: Manufactory, meaning handicrafts, because we value hand work higher than machine production.
Surowe (pl. "Raw"), because the main place of production is the town of Surowe near Pasłęk, Poland, but also due to the fact that our products are processed to a minimal degree, almost raw, which ensures a maximum conservation of natural ingredients along with their quality in the building material.
Our mission is the production and promotion of the natural material construction. The main core of the production is adobe brick and building materials made of clay.
In the area of adobe brick production, we continue the heritage of the BTM Jurkiewicz company and achievements of a prominent specialist in traditional building methods - Engineer Ryszard Jurkiewicz. At the beginning of 1990's dr Ryszard Jurkiewicz started the production of adobe brick and continuously conducted this activity for three decades. He also organised multiple projects focused on restoring traditional construction with natural materials, mainly clay (e.g. building made of compacted clay in Ecology Park in Pasłęk, Poland). As descendants of dr Jurkiewicz's thought we try to continue his mission of expanding the awareness of natural material construction in Poland.
dr inż. Ryszard Jurkiewicz.An enthusiast for using natural materials in construction and conservation; since 1990's an initiator of using clay as an insulation material.
Production manager, Mr Krzysztof Mendyk, as well as the members of the brick factory team have worked with dr R. Jurkiewicz since the beginning of the XXI Century. We owe the exquisite quality of our products to their 20-year experience.
