Brillion Iron Works, or BIW, is a foundry and a manufacturer of farm implements located in Brillion, Wisconsin. BIW produces approximately 145,000 net tons of gray and ductile iron castings annually, ranking it among the top ten independent foundries in the United States.

Brillion Iron Works originated in 1890 as a manufacturer of hand and farm tools. The foundry was added in 1900 when the plant was relocated and new buildings were added.

In 1969, the company became a division of Beatrice Foods Company; in 1985, they became part of The Robins Group; in 1988, the company became a subsidiary of Truck Components Inc; and, in 2005, they became an Accuride company. The company just announced that it will be closing this November.[1]
