Oregon Iron Works, Inc. (OIW) was an American manufacturing company based in Clackamas, Oregon (within the Portland metropolitan area). Established in 1944, it was involved in a number of different industries, supplying products ranging from high-speed boats for military use to purpose-built girders for roadway bridges. It had production facilities in Clackamas and Vancouver, Washington.[4] In May 2014, the company announced that it was merging with Portland-based Vigor Industrial.[5][6] Vigor announced that it would be shutting down its complex fabrication operations at the former Oregon Iron works in 2025.[7]
United Streetcar

In 2007, the company entered the field of streetcar (tram) manufacturing, after being awarded a contract, in January 2007, by the City of Portland for the provision of a prototype U.S.-manufactured streetcar for the Portland Streetcar system.[2] The company had signed a technology transfer agreement with Škoda, of the Czech Republic, in February 2006, enabling it to offer to build the already existing Škoda 10 T design, under license from the Czech manufacturer.[8] Upon being awarded the contract, OIW created a new subsidiary, United Streetcar, LLC, for its streetcar manufacturing activity. The prototype streetcar was completed and delivered in mid-2009, and in August 2009 United Streetcar received a contract from the City of Portland for another six 10T streetcars.[9] The announcement of a second order for production-series vehicles soon followed, from the City of Tucson, Arizona.[10] Washington D.C. also ordered two cars from United in April 2012[11] and a third in August 2012.
