Broadwind, Inc.
A precision manufacturer based in Cicero, Illinois, that builds massive steel structures, gears, and gearboxes for energy, mining, and infrastructure. It was once one of the largest US makers of wind-turbine towers, and its gearing arm traces back to Brad Foote Gear Works, founded in 1924. The company was founded in 1996 as Tower Tech Holdings and renamed itself Broadwind in 2008, dropping "Energy" from its name in 2020 as it diversified beyond wind.
