Advanced Formliners

About

Made in Sparta, Wisconsin

Advanced Formliners started with liners for embedded thin brick and distributing the brick itself. That was the whole business at first, and both sides are still core today. Over time the company grew into full formliner design and manufacturing.

Now Advanced makes its own formliners, able to create any new pattern or replicate any existing profile in Sparta, Wisconsin, and distributes thin brick from the makers precasters trust, including the exclusive US line of King Klinker. We serve the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and jobs around the world.
