Our History

Starting from just three employees in 1927, JMW has since grown into a massive operation. Today, the company boasts over 180 full-time employees and a 140,000 sq. ft. fabrication plant. In addition to scale, our comprehensive infrastructure includes:

• An in-house quality control department and an in-house safety department.
• Personnel certified in ASME, API 653, AWWA, and API.
• In-house engineering and design teams.
• A fleet of mobile cranes and specialized equipment alongside ten dedicated field crews for on-site erection and installation.

As an always family-owned business, JMW has maintained a deep, lasting commitment to the Monroe community. Specifically, we demonstrate this through our active involvement in local churches, schools, and youth sports team sponsorships. Furthermore, we proudly support vital organizations such as the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Rays of Sonshine, P.A.W.S. of Northeast Louisiana, the River Cities Humane Society for Cats, and numerous client-sponsored charities.

Beyond our local community work, JMW is a deeply integrated and respected member of the broader industrial landscape. For instance, we hold active memberships in the United Way of Northeast Louisiana, National Association of Manufacturers, International Liquid Terminals Association, and the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors. Moreover, we are aligned with the Louisiana Chemical Industry Alliance, Associated General Contractors of Mississippi, American Petroleum Institute, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, and the Better Business Bureau. Finally, when we aren’t building or giving back, we are proud season ticket holders supporting the New Orleans Saints and the Houston Texans.
