Our Story
Bob and Betty Williams started their family business over 60 years ago as an electrical contracting company shortly after Bob completed a successful tour with the U.S. Marines Corp during the Korean War. Today, Williams Electric Supply is still a veteran owned and family operated business. It is one of the largest electrical distributors in the east Tennessee region and one of the largest lighting showrooms in the southeast United States. Williams Electric Supply has built its business over the last 60 years by focusing on customer needs. We pride ourselves on having hard to find and one-of-a-kind items in stock and ready to sell at the best prices.
