The Enterprise Foundry Company was incorporated in 1908. On 28 November 1940 the company name was changed to Enterprise Engine & Foundry Company to reflect the changed nature of the business.[1] The original foundry was established in 1886.[2][3]

The company continued to make large diesel engines into the late 1940s.[4] There are a few known Enterprise engines remaining.[5]
