Foy Inc is dedicated to providing proven reliable computer software to the aluminum extrusion industry. EPICS systems from Foy Inc are currently operating in 80 extrusion facilities by 1200 licensed users in seven countries. Over 20% of the extrusion presses in the US, and the majority of the presses in Canada, are now operating under Foy Inc programs.
Since 1978, many vendors have attempted to sell specialized software to the extrusion industry. But almost all of them are gone now, while Foy Inc is still providing support to extrusion customers worldwide. Only Foy Inc has over two decades of proven stability, providing dependable systems that are updated with the latest technology.
Foy Inc operates under the principle that a computer system should be designed for a specific industry, incorporating the particular requirements of that industry into the program so that minimum changes need to be made by the user. Most other manufacturing application packages from other software vendors are written in a very generalized form so that any type of business may use them. The user must therefore revise his way of doing business in order to match the requirements of the program. Foy Inc customers avoid this problem.
James H. Foy has designed the extrusion programs from Foy Inc . Prior to starting Foy Inc , Mr. Foy had eleven years of manufacturing experience in the extrusion industry, in positions ranging from Industrial Engineer for Alcoa to President of Texas Extrusion Corporation. Techniques used in EPICS have been developed and proven in extrusion plants varying in size from a single press operation to a fifteen-press plant.
