Building the Los Angeles basin and the southwestern United States for over 95 years.

1913 – Murray Company was founded and provided design/build services for residential and light commercial in the Los Angeles area.

1954 - Murray Company became incorporated in the State of California as Murray Plumbing and Heating Corporation and stayed true to its roots as an entrepreneurial hands-on industrial and commercial HVAC plumbing and pipe contractor.  

1969 – Murray Company was acquired by John Carner who had already built a name in the mechanical contracting business in Los Angeles.  With John’s engineering and leadership, the company took on more sophisticated work in aerospace and related industries.  During the next 20 years, Mr. Carner brought in and developed many of the current long-term leaders of Murray Company.

1994 – John Carner entered semi-retirement.  Kevan Steffey, John Odom, and Rick Stafford succeeded day-to-day operating control of the company.  John Carner became Chairman of the Board.  

Recognizing the vibrant market of pharmaceuticals and Murray’s client base with Amgen and Baxter Health Care, Murray Company opened its first satellite office in Newbury Park.  

2002 – Chairman John Carner passed 100% ownership of Murray Company to the Murray Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  Existing day-to-day management assumed full executive duties at that time.  Murray Company remains committed to providing an atmosphere where all employees are encouraged and rewarded to take ownership of their work.

Today – Murray Company has grown to be the full-service mechanical and underground piping contractor of choice in Southern California and is currently recognized as the preeminent regional mechanical contractor, nationally ranked #141 Overall and #33 Mechanical by ENR/Engineering News-Record.
