Steenbakkerij Scheerders van Kerchove's Verenigde Fabrieken
Steenbakkerij Scheerders van Kerchove's Verenigde Fabrieken, Industrial brickworks in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium.
The extensive industrial complex includes multiple buildings, production facilities, and railway connections spread across several streets near the Antwerp-Ghent railway line.
Founded in 1905 by Leon-Jean Scheerders, the factory introduced one of Belgium's first Hoffmann ovens in 1906, marking a turning point in brick manufacturing technology.
The facility transformed from a traditional clay extraction site to a diversified manufacturing center, reflecting the industrial evolution of East Flanders region.
The factory expanded its operations to include tile production, concrete manufacturing, and a printing department, serving construction needs throughout Belgium.
Two large clay dredgers remain on site as remnants of the original extraction methods, while old railway tracks still trace the paths of material transportation.
