Besly’s history in Beloit dates back to 1888 as a manufacturer of taps and small tools. Besly built the 115,700-square-foot building in South Beloit in 1952. It’s been closed as a manufacturing facility and office building since 2005 when Besly was sold and the new owners moved manufacturing operations to Asia. The company was making cutting tools, steel taps, drills, reamers, end mills and carbide tipped cutting tools at the South Beloit location when it was shut down.
