The Ludowici legacy of Old World craftsmanship started 400 years ago in Rome where the Ludovisi family became famous for its expertly crafted roof tile. As European demand grew, the family moved to Germany and the name was changed to the Germanized Ludowici. In the late 1800’s Carl Ludowici moved the family and his Old World craftsmanship to America establishing a roof tile company in Chicago.
Ludowici Roof Tile Company prospered. Eventually all Ludowici tile making operations were consolidated into the New Lexington, Ohio factory. With over 120 years of experience, Ludowici has grown into the industry leader for clay roof tile.

Today, Ludowici produces a limitless array of colors and profiles to fit vast architectural styles. Ludowici’s unique custom capabilities, allows architects and designers to create durable, inspiring architecture utilizing a truly unlimited pallete. With a life span over 100 years a Ludowici roof is not only beautiful but the most sustainable and green roof available.

Since 1888 Ludowici has been protecting buildings large and small. From bungalows, mansions, commercial, university, government or military buildings Ludowici roof tiles are the sensible and sustainable choice.
