OUR STORY
Larry Morgan, Sr. founded Morgan with his two sons, Larry Morgan, Jr. and Bryan Morgan in 1989 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Soon thereafter, they established the company headquarters in Baker, Florida.

The company grew into building larger pump stations and treatment plants, marine work, and pipe rehabilitation in the late 1990s.
