About James E. Watson & Co.
James E. Watson and his wife, Elsie, started James E. Watson & Company in their Marietta, Georgia home in 1952. Through hard work and great customer service, the company grew to include multiple outside sales representatives, and a full office staff.
Winning awards for sales volume and growth, Mr. Watson soon found himself in need of a new home for the company. So in 1970, Watson & Company moved the headquarters to its current location at 29 Doran Avenue where it has been winning awards ever since.
Today, Watson & Company's dedicated team is comprised of personnel of various industry-related backgrounds, spanning three states. Each brings expertise and commitment to our customers.
Our team's cumulative hands-on experience totals 121 years while working at Watson & Company! It is with this experience and dedication that we successfully service our 9000+ customers by offering cost-effective solutions through vast product knowledge.
Give us a call. We look forward to assisting you.
