Feeney, Inc.

In 1948, Jim Feeney opened the doors of Feeney® Wire Rope & Rigging in an old soap factory building located on the edge of the San Francisco Bay in Berkeley, California. The post-war San Francisco Bay Area was booming with military, maritime and construction business. Feeney quickly gained a solid reputation as a company that provided quality rigging products and superior service. With hard work, a dedicated staff, and an expanding list of satisfied customers, Feeney soon grew to become one of the leading suppliers of custom rigging and hardware in the region. This position still holds true today. In 1979, Ernest S. Ralston purchased Feeney with an eye toward the future. With an enthusiastic, open-minded approach to business, he, along with other family members and staff, were able to incorporate new ideas and new products into the mix, allowing them to expand into new markets beyond traditional industrial rigging.
