Made in Texas

Supporting local manufacturers helps firms reduce shipping costs and delivery time, earn LEED credits, employ members of the community, and become less dependent on imports and the tariffs that may come with them. Here are six options from around the state of Texas. 

Alkusari Stone
Stone Masonry Units

Alkusari Stone offers stone masonry units in three finishes and multiple natural stones, including Texas limestones from the brand’s quarry in the Abilene area. With teams working in both quarries and factories, Alkusari serves as source and retailer. The company also reviews historical, reclaimed material from around the world and designs new collections and architectural elements. Being the source allows Alkusari to accommodate large commercial and residential plans with special requirements at their fabrication facility in Bertram.

Austin Block + Hardscape
Concrete Masonry Units

Austin Block + Hardscape offers durable, locally made masonry solutions across Texas, including structural and architectural CMUs that meet ASTM C90 and C129 nonloadbearing standards. Austin’s structural CMU is available in 50 sizes, while their architectural CMU comes in 30 sizes, 16 colors, and four distinct finishes: smooth, shot blast, split face, and burnish. The Georgetown-based company also manufactures MiriPave concrete pavers for pedestrian and light vehicular use.

Thermowood Spruce 
Delta Millworks

Thermowood Spruce cladding is sustainably sourced and thermally modified in Finland and then milled and prefinished by Delta in Austin. Thermal modification uses heat and steam to change the chemical and physical properties of wood, making it more durable and dimensionally stable. Thermowood Spruce is available in 15 standard colorways but can also be customized through bespoke color matching, texturing, burning, and milling.

Stellaris
Lucifer Lighting Company

San Antonio–based Lucifer Lighting collaborated with Gensler’s New York product development team on the design of their new decorative fixture, Stellaris. This organic, minimalist luminaire conceals its mechanics while providing both volumetric and directional lighting. Featuring dual independent light sources, it offers unparalleled control options, enabling multilayered illumination that adapts to any environment. With a 30-inch diameter, Stellaris utilizes waveguide technology to deliver volumetric indirect lighting in a decorative luminaire.

Arc
Loftwall

Grand Prairie–based Loftwall has introduced Arc, a curved desk screen designed to meet the growing demand for flexible, personal workspace boundaries in open-plan offices. Unlike traditional flat panels, Arc’s organically shaped U- and L-configurations provide 360-degree visual and acoustic privacy—without making the workspace feel boxed in. Tool-free installation, tackable acoustic PET construction, and curated duotone color options make Arc both specifier-friendly and easy to deploy at scale. The screen mounts directly to the desk using a proprietary embedded bracket system, eliminating visible hardware and streamlining cable management.

Solarban 70 Glass
Vitro Architectural Glass

With its transparent, color-neutral aesthetic and unprecedented solar control and visible light transmittance, Solarban 70 glass offers a balance between form and function. Solarban’s centralized production at Vitro’s Wichita Falls facility ensures an efficient supply chain, enabling direct shipping to reduce transit times, accelerate delivery, and enhance cost-effectiveness. Solarban 70 is shown here on a high-tech facade at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) National Security Collaboration Center, completed in 2022 by Overland Partners Architects.
