Our History
Silka’s foundation dates back to 1898 with the development of sand-lime bricks—a traditional building material with a proven track record. In 1995, Xella Group introduced Silka in Poland, and it has since grown into an internationally recognized brand. The introduction of large-format Silka products further advanced efficient building, and today, Silka continues to innovate by combining digital planning services through Xella’s blue.sprint with tailored product solutions.
