Historic North Haven manufacturer transitions to fourth generation of family leadership

Contributed Chris and Jon Ulbricht

Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals, a North Haven-based supplier to the aerospace, automotive and medical industries, has passed to its fourth generation of family leadership.

Chris Ulbrich, grandson of the founder, is stepping down as CEO and will become the full-time chair of the board of directors. He is succeeded by his son Jon Ulbrich.

The company was founded in Wallingford in 1924 as a scrapyard called the Fred Ulbrich Company. It now has offices across the U.S. as well as in Europe and Asia.

Jon Ulbrich previously served as president of Ulbrich’s Service Center Group.

“We are confident this change will support Ulbrich’s continued growth for generations to come,” said Chris Ulbrich in a statement announcing the change. “The art of transitioning a privately-owned business is critical to its long-term success, and Jon is the right leader to carry Ulbrich forward.”

“With the exceptional talent and dedication of the Ulbrich team, I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead,” Jon Ulbrich said.
