After successfully founding Williams Industries, Inc. in Virginia in 1960, business partners Frank Williams Jr. and John Murphy were asked by their customers to perform some steel erection work in the Atlanta area. Murphy came to Georgia in 1967, and once he arrived, it became clear they’d found a market they wanted to stay in. Williams, Murphy, and Williams’ father F. Everett Williams created Williams Enterprises of Georgia and established an office in Smyrna, GA.
Over time, the volume of steel erection work performed by Williams Enterprises of Georgia continued to grow, and Williams Erection Company was founded in 1989 to take on that work from its parent company. WEC continues to be based in the Atlanta area, but also travels throughout the Southeast for steel erection jobs, including to the metropolitan areas of Orlando, Tampa, Charlotte, and Nashville, and together with the rest of the Williams Family of Companies is the largest erector in the region.
Williams Erection Company is an AISC Advanced Certified Steel Erector and a member of the Steel Erectors Association of America.
