Wiese Industries Inc

What Wiese Industries Inc does

Wiese Industries Inc is a privately held American manufacturer of agricultural tillage replacement parts, founded in 1899 by Henry Wiese in Perry, Iowa, and wholly owned by Trevor and Ian Giles since 2020. The company's product line consists of wear parts used on tillage implements — plow parts (shares, shins, mouldboards, landsides, trash boards, wear pads), fertilizer knives offered in five sub-series (A50, AT, CO50, CP, DT) for NH3 and granular application, V blades for minimum-tillage weed management, subsoilers for deep soil conditioning, and chisels in SD, DP, and twisted (1235, 1245) configurations. Production relies on in-house steel forging and metalworking processes including hammer forging, drop forging, heat treating, hardfacing, and welding, executed at the main plant in Perry, Iowa and a sister facility in Regina, Saskatchewan.

The business is monetized through three revenue streams: (1) Wiese-branded parts sold directly and through qualified resellers globally, (2) OEM parts manufacturing for agricultural implement makers, and (3) custom branding services that produce private-label versions of existing parts for brand-aware resellers. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining inside-sales channels (phone, email, website contact form) with an authorized dealer/reseller network permitted to use the registered Wiese logo. Distribution reaches North America, Australia, Ukraine, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The company holds a registered brand identity (the Wiese logo) and runs a "Buy Authentic" anti-counterfeiting campaign to defend against overseas substitutes; it discloses no app, API, software products, or institutional investors.

Wiese has been associated with The Empire Plow Company, McKay Tillage, and Harvest Services under the McKay Group of Companies since 2003, sharing ownership and a multi-entity tillage portfolio. Its public self-description characterizes it as "one of America's larger domestic farm tillage tool manufacturers." Operational status is active, with no publicly disclosed revenue, headcount, or funding figures.
