Mr. Brown served as Vice President of Bremen Castings, Inc., from 1984-1987, as President from 1988-2005; as CEO from 1987 to 2020 (during our rebranding); and as Chairman of the Board from 2012 to Present. Mr. Brown dedicated his career to the success of Bremen Castings, Inc. and now BCI Solutions, Inc.  James E. Brown remains Chairman of the Board. 

Under his thoughtful leadership, BCI Solutions, Inc. and our 250 employees provided parts to the U.S. Military, Agriculture, Automotive, Truck, Lawn & Garden and Healthcare industries, and worked tirelessly throughout this pandemic to ensure the critical government infrastructure we support stays strong.  As an essential business, BCI Solutions was able to adjust and be flexible to new policies and procedures to guarantee the safety and wellness of our team members, our customers and vendors. 

"The goal of the IMA Manufacturing Excellence Awards is to celebrate and recognize the positive achievements made by Indiana manufacturing companies, and to honor their contributions in furthering manufacturing in Indiana," said IMA President and CEO Brian Burton. "Additionally, the awards help bring attention to our industry and spark creativity through a sharing of ideas among manufacturers in our state."

Indiana manufacturing continues to be one of the highest paying industry sectors in the state, and accounts for nearly 30% of Indiana's total GDP. As the most manufacturing-intensive state in the nation, Indiana is the number-one wage payer and employer of Hoosiers.
