Abbey Machinery was founded by Mary and Joseph Cavanagh in 1947. The Cavanagh family had been blacksmiths operating a local foundry business in Abbey Lane, Nenagh since the late 1800s. After spending some time in the United States, Joseph Cavanagh returned to Ireland in 1946, and formed Abbey Machinery in 1947 with his wife Mary. [6]
