Wilford Industries is a large organization responsible for designing, building, and maintaining Snowpiercer. Under the guise of the myth of "Mr. Wilford", the company is run by Melanie Cavill[1].
There are only a limited number of people aware of the company's leadership, and each plays a vital part in keeping order aboard the train.
History
Little is known about the inception of the company, other than prior to the freeze, Melanie Cavill was contracted by Mr. Wilford to design a Luxury Liner. This Liner was operational for at least 1 year[2] before the Freeze and would cruise a 318,000km long track, stretched across the globe. Many major cities were included in this railway track, including Moscow, Berlin, Paris, Jerusalem, Bangkok, Singapore, Sydney, Bejing, Anchorage, and Panama City.[1]
Eventually, Mr. Wilford realized that climate change is unavoidable, through the CW-7 chemical agent, and he undertook steps to refit his Luxury Liner into an Ark. The company first developed and constructed a Prototype Engine nicknamed Big Alice, Melanie Cavill then built an Engine that used Perpetual Motion Technology. Wilford Industries Global Express became Snowpiercer, while Mr. Wilford sold tickets to finance this refit. Ultimately, his goal was not to save humanity but to live his lavish life as long as he could and was eventually taken out of the equation by Melanie Cavill.
It is currently unknown if the suspended animation technology used by The Drawers was developed by Wilford Industries, or if it was already commercially available technology.
Wilford Industries also built the Breslauer Weather Station in the Rocky Mountain's.
