Williams Industries Announces Coordination of Manufacturing Activities; Appointment of New Corporate VP

Williams Industries, Inc. (OTC: WMSI) today announced a change in the company's management structure. Effective immediately, the company's manufacturing operations will report to Danny C. Dunlap, who was named Vice President for Manufacturing Operations. His immediate responsibility will be oversight of the activities of Williams Bridge Company and S.I.P. Inc. of Delaware. Prior to this appointment, the subsidiaries had reported directly to the company's chairman and CEO, Frank E. Williams, III.

In describing the organizational change Frank E. Williams, III, Williams Industries' president and CEO, said, "This structural change will allow the manufacturing subsidiaries to better recognize and emphasize their synergies, resulting in a more competitive position in the marketplace. It also will facilitate the marketing of different products to the same customer base. Danny already has been responsible for a tremendous turn-around at S.I.P. and it is hoped that the introduction of his expertise will generate similar results at Williams Bridge," Williams said.

Dunlap, 46, joined Williams Industries in June 2004 as executive vice president of S.I.P. and was named president a year later. He will retain that position. Dunlap has more than 20 years of engineering experience with various divisions of Mars, Inc., as well as two years with Union Carbide Carbon Products. He has a degree in Industrial Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
