Company Overview and History
Williams Scotsman has been solving space needs since 1955. With our fleet of approximately 100,000 mobile offices, classrooms and storage units and our unique Concurrent Construction™ method for modular buildings, we provide every space solution from a simple construction trailer to complex, multi-story buildings such as schools and medical facilities.
Headquartered in the historic Fell’s Point area of Baltimore, Maryland, Williams Scotsman is the supplier of choice for modular buildings, mobile offices, classrooms, storage products, and more. As a result of significant organic growth and strategic acquisitions, the company serves more than 25,000 customers in 450 diverse industries, winning awards and customer accolades along the way.
In 2007, Williams Scotsman was acquired by a syndicate led by TDR Capital LLP, a United Kingdom-based investment fund manager. TDR Capital merged Williams Scotsman with Algeco (which principally operated in continental Europe), and Elliott (which operated in the UK) to create Algeco Scotsman.
