BREMEN, Ind. (Feb. 10, 2014) – Bremen Castings Inc., a family-owned foundry, will celebrate its 75th anniversary in March. “It is crucial for everyone to be a team member and an active citizen within our communities so we strive to cast each employee into a valuable and responsible individual,” says James Brown, president of Bremen Castings. “We have a set of core values that we want everyone to have and appreciate.” Originally named, Bremen Gray Iron foundry (the name was changed to Bremen Castings Inc. in 1972), the company was established on March 17, 1939 by Ellis Brown, Charles W. Kling and Harold Heckamen with an initial investment of $10,000. Some of the first customers included Bendix Corporation, Clark Equipment and Ford Motor Company. Since its inception, Bremen Castings has grown from an 800 square-foot building to its current 125,000 square feet, with more additions planned for the future. The company has continued to stay at the forefront of the foundry industry, having won numerous awards for its safety, technology and environment-friendly manufacturing. Today, Bremen is still privately owned and operated by the Brown family.
