Messer's Knoxville-based construction professionals live and work in Knoxville. We are providing superior building experiences to clients like Oak Ridge High School, Aisin Automotive Casting, The University of Tennessee and the McGhee Tyson Airport.

In addition to hiring locally, supporting area businesses, raising our families in Knoxville, and contributing to the region tax base, Messer also strives to be a good corporate citizen. With financial contributions and our volunteer spirit, we support the United Way of the Greater Knoxville Area, Knoxville arts organizations, Boys & Girls Clubs of the Tennessee Valley, the GSMC BSA, and the March of Dimes Metro Knox Division, among many others. Messer also builds the Knoxville community by including minority- and woman-owned businesses on every project. In 2009, 13.3% ($83 million) of Messer’s purchases went to certified minority- or woman-owned subcontractors and suppliers.
