Description

A Strong Heritage The Foley Engine team was founded in 1916, the same year that Frank Perkins began Perkins Engines. We are now in our third generation of hands-on family management. We seek to grow our company by focusing on people who want their distributor to do more: to stock more heavily, to ship more quickly, to do more development, to do more supply chain management, to offer more flexible solutions, etc. In short we want to have a relationship with our customers. A quality, long lasting relationship. Not just a series of one-time transactions. To build these relationships, we are committed to the values that have made us successful over the last 86 years. These include having knowledgeable people giving good customer service backed up by huge inventories and discount pricing with quick shipping. In short, giving good value. Building on Strength For the Future Our 20,000 square foot facility is located on Interstate 290 in Worcester, Massachusetts, the second largest city in New England. Fully 80% of the 7,000,000 people of New England are within an hour's drive of our facility. Given our background and record of re-investing in our family business, we can take the long view and prepare for the future. Standing ready to help you. Our facility is chock full of the latest in diagnostic, fuel injection system and machine tools. Every work station has ports for electric power, water, and compressed air. Every position is served by an electric hoist and ceiling or bridge cranes. All engine cores are stored inside our heated facilty. We are good corporate citizens and support local non-profit groups, offer internships, etc.. We support also our industry and related marine groups like Block Island's Great Salt Pond Committee, Maine's Island Institute and The Nature Conservancy. Foley Engines is fully compliant with all environmental regulations. For example to clean castings, rather than using old style hot tanks with attendant liquid disposal problems, we use environmentally sensitive industrial baking ovens. Knowledgeable People One of the ways that we add value is to have skilled, professional people on our team. Our people are engine pros with decades of engine industry experience. Many have been with us for over 20 years. We have noticed that other companies in the face of tough times have cut back on their staffing levels and training. We haven't. Our people have the latest in factory training, microfiche, CD-ROM, and other tools to help identify the parts you need. Our people have the technical and product knowledge that you won't find in a local parts store or marina. The industry recognizes this and we are interviewed regularly by trade journals (e. g., National Fisherman, Construction Equipment Guide, Maine Coastal News, etc.) and appear on national panels and forums. This is one of our strongest competititive advantages. It is a major benefit to you, our customer. This ensures that we meet your needs quickly with the right solution. The first time. For example, if you buy a Zenith carburetor or an exhaust purifier from us you're not just buying a carburetor or a exhaust purifier. You're buying an 86 year old company that is full of people who understand fuel systems and how they work and who can support that carburetor or purifier.
