Centennial Book
In 1924, Fred Sr.’s company began as a metal scrapyard in disarray. During the first few years of operation, the Meriden Record newspaper described the property as an “auto graveyard”. Legend has it that Fred Sr. avoided a visit from the police by hiding inside of a scrap barrel.
From humble beginnings, The Ulbrich company and its people have transformed the business through economic collapses, world wars, and space races into what it is today, the global leader in precision metals.
