ITS was founded by Spencer Tyson in Savannah, GA in 1994. The company began in 1981 as an electrical, instrumentation & controls contractor, and in 1994 expanded to offer the variety of services we provide today. We saw a need in our industry for a contractor that can provide electrical, mechanical, and civil construction in-house and our clients have responded in agreement.
As we’ve grown, so has our customer base, to include pulp/paper, chemical, petroleum, manufacturing, food & beverage, bulk-handling, and distribution companies. As a testament to the company’s growth, our founding team of 6 has grown to employ an average of 110 tradesmen and women. As a family-owned business, we pride ourselves on treating our employees like family and we know they’re the reason for our success. Many of our team members are long-term employees and some have been with the company for over 20 years. We hope that’s something that never changes.
Making your community a better place starts with looking in the mirror and asking what you can do to help, and we encourage our employees to give back. Below is a list of some of the organizations our company & employees support:
