About Us
American Pavers Manufacturing was founded
in 1985 by an entrepreneurial team with a vision. Based on
their heritage of over 900 years of brick manufacturing from
Portugal, the Brito family founded American Pavers.
At the time the company was started, there
was one manufacturer in the State of Florida. They produced
pavers in similar fashion to their German counterparts in
Europe. They concentrated their
efforts on the
functional qualities of producing pavers in several shapes and
primarily in red, brown or gray colors.
No manufacturer had focused on the demand
for the aesthetic beauty of pavers. American Pavers began
testing and formulating a wide range of solid and blended colors
that went beyond the red, brown, and grays that were being
offered.
American Pavers was the first to develop
the use of white cement based pavers. Using white cement in the
production process gave us the ability to create pastel colors
ranging from white, coral, and pink, to peach, orange and
mauves. Add this to the expanded gray cement colors like tans,
camel, goldenrod, charcoal, and greens, and the variety of
blended colors became endless.
The success of our pastel colored pavers
led American Pavers to another first, the introduction of our
pool coping products. Because of the wider range of colors
available, our pool coping quickly became the preferred
alternative to the clay pool coping that had been used for many
years. A few years later, we developed a thin paver for the
remodeling of pool decks and patios.
As our company has evolved, American Pavers
has become known for the highest quality and largest selection
of colors in the industry. Our attention to detail and quality
control far exceed the industry standard. Our dedication to
these high standards is the foundation upon which we have built
our company and will continue to do so through the next
generation.
