Ulbrich Stainless Steels and
Special Metals Inc.
Ulbrich marks a 90th year milestone
Founded in 1924 by Frederick Christian Ulbrich Sr., Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special
Metals, Inc. was a small metal scrap processing center in Wallingford, Connecticut. Ulbrich
is now marking its 90th anniversary this year with 700 employees, and 12 locations around
the world, including its headquarters in North Haven, Conn. Today, the company remains
family-owned, led by the founder, Fred Sr.’s son, Fred Jr., Chairman of the Board, and
grandson, Chris, Chief Executive Officer.
Ulbrich serves stainless steel and
special metal markets with strip,
flat wire, shaped wire, foil and ultra-
lite foil, and sheet product forms. It
has evolved into a worldwide, high
quality precision metals
manufacturing and distribution
network.
“We have achieved this milestone
as a result of the commitment,
loyalty, knowledge and hard work
of each employee through the
years,” said Chris Ulbrich, CEO.
“We also extend sincere
appreciation to all customers who
have supported Ulbrich with orders
and feedback. Our dedicated
customer base has always been
key to the company’s success.”
When Fred Sr. founded Ulbrich in
1924, he could not have known
that the company would endure
through the Great Depression,
diversify amidst two world wars,
thrive during lunar exploration, and
develop into an international
business. Ulbrich supplies
precision products at the
international level for numerous
critical applications in the medical,
power generation, energy,
automotive, aircraft, aerospace,
petro chemical, oil and gas,
industrial and consumer markets.
To celebrate its 90th year
anniversary, Ulbrich is planning a
series of commemorative events at
all of its locations.
