The use of brick and tile is as old as human history.

The first place where brick or tile is used is in the houses. These houses were built with a simple production setup, especially in the settlements located on the river banks and deltas, next to the houses to be built with dried clay tablets. It is not possible to give a starting date on this issue. Unbaked clay tablets found in excavations on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the Mesopotamian region indicate the 13th century BC.

The first industrial production of fired brick dates back to the 4th century BC, coinciding with the construction of the Tower of Babel. Historians have calculated that 85 million bricks were used in this tower. Considering that today, only 5-6 factories with advanced technology can produce bricks in this figure with a year's work, it is necessary to accept that the production made here is of technological value. This is why the tower of Babel is an important symbol for brick production and industry.

It is accepted that the first people to produce and use the tile were the Corinthians. The Corinthians produced the concave tiles, which are still used today, in the 4th century BC, thicker and larger than they are now, by beating the prepared brick dough with a hammer and making it widespread.

The production methods that progressed in parallel with this historical development in Anatolia and Europe gained a different dimension when the Romans brought the first standards and started to trade in this business.

Bricks and tiles, which were a part of Seljuk and Ottoman architecture in Anatolia in later periods, formed an architectural style unique to Anatolia with the standards of the Ottomans. The first standards started to be applied in the Ottoman period, when the tiles were kept smaller and the brick sizes were larger. At that time, its use in construction was prohibited for non-standard production and similar situations, and penalties were envisaged in this regard. Even in construction, standard practices were introduced in terms of building floors and models. Considering the sectoral development in Anatolia, the factory and industrial production facility could not be built until the last period of the Ottomans, apart from the workshop and open pit workshops.
