About Foley, Incorporated
The Foley name initially was known as a leader in the early years of automobile dealerships in Newark, but an intriguing business opportunity presented to Edward Foley, Jr. in 1957 to become a Caterpillar tractor dealer, changed the direction of Foley’s future. After ten years of solid growth, Foley Machinery moved to Piscataway, NJ in January 1967 to a larger facility. Today all of Foley’s facilities are a combined 200,000 square feet.
