Foley United is a division of Foley Belsaw (aka: The Foley Companies) which is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company has been owned by the Ringer Family since 1926 when Walter Ringer Sr. bought Foley Manufacturing, a small company that made a machine to sharpen handsaw blades. Today, the company is owned and operated by the third generation of the Ringer Family and has grown to include 5 different companies and operating divisions.

The Ringer family operates on a basic philosophy that was coined by Walter Ringer Sr. that says "Keeping Everlastingly At It Brings Success". Foley United takes great pride in being represented with over 77 years of manufacturing sharpening machinery experience, and under the guidance and commitment of the Ringer Family, we strive to continue to prove the elder Ringer's philosophy.
