Background

About Eric Williams

We've been hard at work in Byron and Macon, Georgia, proudly employing over 200 Middle Georgians and transforming traditional steelwork into state-of-the-art metal fabrication and manufacturing facilities. At Unified Defense and Prince Service & Manufacturing, we're all about creating positive impact and opportunity. As the President and CEO of Unified Defense and Prince Service & Manufacturing, I'm focused on building a strong culture and embracing innovation that sets us apart in the industry, enabling us to deliver exceptional results and drive economic prosperity in our communities. I oversee strategy, product research and development, operational infrastructure growth for new product pipelines, external partnerships, and contract acquisition and management. With over a decade of experience in the manufacturing industry and a long-time resident of Georgia, my goal is to become the preferred employer in Middle Georgia. Coming from a family of manufacturers and entrepreneurs, I have always had a deep passion for the steel trade, business, and entrepreneurship. In 2016, I founded Unified Defense, and in 2022, I acquired Prince Service & Manufacturing— the go-to precision metal fabricator and contract manufacturer for customers throughout Georgia and the Southeast since 1965. I'm an active investor and Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce board member and supporter of the Central Georgia Technical College's Welding and Joining Technology programs, advocating for skilled trades and the opportunities they create for growth in our community.
