Corporate History
Williamson was established in 1890 and Thermoflo was founded in 1946. They partnered in 1999 to become Williamson-Thermoflo and were acquired by Weil-McLain the same year. SPX was founded in Muskegon, Mich., in 1911 as The Piston Ring Co. and acquired Weil-McLain in 2001.
Despite the 1999 partnership of the two manufacturers, the company today sells its furnaces, boilers and air conditioners under two brands: Williamson and Thermoflo.
