Foley CAT held an open house on Oct. 30, 2025, at its new Lehigh Valley facility in Breinigsville, Pa.

Approximately 200 customers attended the event despite heavy rain, which moved the festivities inside the facility that became operational in January 2024.

The open house featured equipment displays, booths highlighting Foley CAT services, swag giveaways and a complimentary dinner provided by a local food truck.

"The purpose of this open house is to show the investment we've made in the territory for our customers, with the goal of providing an exceptional customer experience," said Jamie Foley, CEO of Foley Inc. "This is about putting your money where your mouth is. This branch in the Lehigh Valley represents an investment of more than $30 million, and we're committed to meeting our customers' needs."

Foley added that the event was designed to demonstrate the facility's ability to service a full range of equipment — from compact construction machines, skid steers and mini-excavators to larger mining equipment — all within the same location.

"When we first acquired Ransome CAT back in February 2018, they were operating out of Whitehall, Pa., in a facility of only about 15,000 square feet," said Foley. "This new 55,000-square-foot facility represents a major step forward, not only in location but also in the scale of what we can provide our customers—from greater parts availability to expanded service capabilities."

"This event is really about engaging with our customers, seeing them face to face, and thanking them for their business," Foley added. "We want to show that this investment is an investment in them — ensuring that as they continue to grow and run successful businesses, we're here to support them." CEG
