What is today Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals, Inc., began in 1924 when Fred Ulbrich, Sr. started a scrap metal reselling business in Wallingford, Connecticut. Fred, Sr. soon began manufacturing cutlery, and during World War II was awarded a contract to supply stainless steel knives for the U.S. Army’s mess kits. This contract allowed the company to purchase its first rolling mill, which was instrumental in transforming Ulbrich from a utensils-based manufacturer to a custom stainless steel strip operation in the post-World War II era.

Today, Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals, Inc. is a fourth-generation, family-owned business with fourteen locations across five countries. Under the leadership of CEO Jon Ulbrich and Chairman of the Board Chris Ulbrich, our global workforce of over 800 employees remains committed to the values that have defined us since 1924: an unwavering dedication to quality, innovation, and customer service.
