The Burns Industries Corporation (BIC for short) is a corporation owned by the Burns Family located in the Kingdom of Vale. They are one of the largest weapon and technology producers in the world and are partners with the Schnee Dust Company. The current heiress to the corporation is Leia Burns as the company was founded by her great grandfather before the great war.

Unlike the SDC, the BIC has been known to treat Faunus and other workers with respect and dignity. However, in some instances Faunus and other workers and heavily injured during testing of weaponry and other pieces of technology, resulting in bloodshed from the White Fang.

Though the company is headquartered within the Kingdom of Vale, it has plenty of other factories in both Mistral and Vacuo as well as several departments in Atlas working with the SDC.

History
The company was funded prior to the Great War by a man named Harry Burns who was apart of a struggling family living in poverty in Vale. Harry had an interest in construction and would regularly build things made of wood around his home. He soon went and became a skilled carpenter and later earned a job making weaponry. When the Great War began, Harry opened the BIC in Vale and his sales skyrocketed.

Harry eventually passed the company down to his son who in turned did the same to the and passed to his son, Maximillion.

Since Maximillion took over, the company entered a slight moral gray area for allying itself with the Schnee Dust Company. Eventually the weapons and technology built by the company became more complex and more risky to operate with some workers either severally injured or killed. As a result, the White Fang went to war with the BIC for their use of Faunus labor. This is further explained by Leia during her mission to the boarder of Vale of how the Burns family wished to better its image similar to the SDC. As a result, Leia had an unhappy childhood never having any real freedom or choice until she chose to become a huntress similar to her grandfather.

After the Fall of Beacon, the Vale council has refused all transports of coming in or out of Vale unless it is evacuation. As a result, it has coast the BIC hundreds of thousands of lien and has forced the main production of weaponry to move to Mistral with Maximillion and his wife Cream.
