Albert Bros Inc., a metal recycling company based in Waterbury, Connecticut, has announced that it is celebrating 125 years of being in business this year. According to a news release from Albert Bros., Nathan and Lewis Albert started the scrap metal yard business in 1895 in Waterbury.
“Albert Bros. is a family owned business, built on tradition, and has been for generations,” says Eric Albert, president of Albert Bros. “Nathan’s oldest son, Sidney, joined the business in 1919. He became president of Albert Bros. in 1929. Sidney’s oldest son Burt, my father, entered the business in 1958. The company expanded and moved to its present location on East Aurora Street in 1971. It was in the 1980s when I began working at Albert Bros. along with my brother Jonathan under our father’s leadership. I joined the company in 1985 and Jonathan, joined the business five years later.”
Burt’s grandson Jake also joined the family business one month before he passed away in May 2019, and Jake marks the fifth generation of the Albert family to work for the business.
“For 125 years, Albert Bros. has continued to build on and maintain a significant local, regional and international reputation. The manner in which we conduct business has remained constant. Our core values haven’t changed—honesty, integrity, safety, respect, financial stability, professionalism, environmental stewardship and community involvement have always been the cornerstones of our success,” Eric adds. “We are committed to servicing the community we live in, and we will continue to do so by volunteering and supporting the local and national organizations that improve the quality of our region. Particularly now, as we are all facing challenges with COVID-19, we are proud to be part of the local community standing strong together supporting our first responders and medical teams, and all those on the front lines.”
Today, Albert Bros. has 65 full-time employees, some of whom have been with the company for decades. Also, the company is renovating an additional 10-acre, 130,000-square-foot facility located across the street from its main facility to accommodate its growth and efficiency initiatives.
The company reports that the metal-recycling sector as a whole is facing headwinds driven by the impact of tariffs and volatility in global markets, but the company remains bullish about its future. “Metal recycling is here to stay, and we are passionate about its role in helping to conserve resources for future generations while making its communities better places to live and work in,” Eric says. “And we are confident the company will continue to evolve to meet any new developments.”
