Williamson Pipe Supply sits just south of Nashville\u2019s concerts and nightlife in Franklin, Tennessee\u2014a place as famous for its country music stars as its rolling hills. Led by Barry Saucier and his tight-knit team of five, this humble pipe supply company focuses on one thing: doing right by their employees and customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking to make enough to put food on the table, and that\u2019s what keeps us happy. I\u2019m not looking to get wealthy,\u201d Barry says\u2014a grounded philosophy that many of us can respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barry\u2019s journey to owning Williamson Pipe Supply wasn\u2019t exactly a straight line. But is it ever? After retiring from a career in road construction, he lasted about two weeks before realizing he wasn\u2019t quite ready to sit still.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI gotta find something else to do,\u201d Barry recalls thinking. That \u201csomething else\u201d turned into buying Williamson Pipe Supply in 2017, a move that drew on his years of experience working in subdivisions, utility projects and a wide variety of other construction work.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though he\u2019s quick to point out, \u201cI\u2019m not a salesman\u2014I\u2019ve installed this stuff before.\u201d Barry\u2019s hands-on knowledge has made him a trusted partner for contractors and customers alike. He\u2019s even been known to roll up his sleeves and help with installations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cIf somebody needs a hand, I\u2019ll run out there\u2014whatever it takes,\u201d Barry says, \u201cI\u2019ve been guilty of making a delivery, where the person does not know how to put the pipe in, so I\u2019ll get out of the truck and help them put the pipe in the ditch. And they\u2019re [the office staff] sitting there calling me from the office, asking, \u2018Where are you at? We need you to do this.\u2019\u201d But Barry\u2019s priority is ensuring each customer can get their job done. \u201c\u2018I\u2019m helping them put pipe in the ditch. I\u2019ll be back when I get back.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

And so that\u2019s what I love to do. If somebody needs a hand, I\u2019ll go up there, whether it\u2019s putting pipe in the ditch, running a piece of equipment, whatever it takes. Because we\u2019re all here on Earth to help each other.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Partnering with Fratco  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When Barry first took over Williamson Pipe Supply, he wasn\u2019t impressed with the relationship he had with their previous pipe supplier. Determined to find a better partner, he started asking around. Word of mouth led him to Fratco, and a simple phone call kicked off what has become a strong partnership.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After connecting with Craig and meeting Brendan, Barry knew he\u2019d found the right fit. \u201cIt just started from there,\u201d he says. Today, Fratco trucks keep them stocked with near-daily shipments of pipe and accessories. \u201cAustin [Simanson] does a great job of lining trucks up and keeping pipe coming to us,\u201d Barry notes, expressing his gratitude for consistent and reliable supply.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of Williamson Pipe Supply\u2019s sales consist of 20-foot sticks of HDPE (SingleCorr and SmoothCorr) and accessories, often for smaller residential projects like custom homebuilding with contractors. However, he also notes that HDPP (ProCorr) is becoming increasingly more common, especially in their southern footprint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the company\u2019s bread and butter might be modest-scale jobs, its reach has extended to some star-studded clients. Located in one of Tennessee\u2019s wealthiest areas, Williamson Pipe Supply has delivered pipe for the likes of Trace Adkins, Kid Rock, Shania Twain and other high-profile names.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are the pipe place for the stars,\u201d Barry jokes. But he\u2019s quick to add, \u201cWe laugh about it and have fun.\u201d Despite the glitz of their clientele, Barry and his team stay humble, \u201cWe\u2019re just a simple little pipe company,\u201d he adds with a light chuckle.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking South  <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As Williamson Pipe Supply continues to grow, Barry is already planning the company\u2019s next step: opening a new location in the Florida panhandle, specifically in Navarre. Encouraged by Fratco\u2019s own expansion into Alabama, Barry is eager to take the business further south and bring the corrugated plastic pipe water management industry with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its strong partnerships, practical approach and willingness to lend a helping hand, Williamson Pipe Supply isn\u2019t just selling pipe\u2014it\u2019s building relationships, one stick at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
