BCI Defense was established on December 10, 2013 by James E. Brown CEO (3rd generation) and JB Brown President (4th generation) of Bremen Castings, Inc. The Brown family has always had a passion for firearms, the 2nd Amendment, and manufacturing. After leading a successful 70 year plus manufacturer of machined complete gray and ductile iron components, and producing products for OEM’s, the Brown’s decided it was time to manufacture something new and their own product.
