Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals Acquires ATI New Bedford, MA and Remscheid, Germany Precision Rolled Strip Operations

Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals is excited to announce the acquisition of ATI's precision rolled strip operations in New Bedford, MA and Remscheid, Germany

North Haven, CT, November 6, 2024 - Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals is excited to announce the acquisition of ATI's precision rolled strip operations in New Bedford, MA and Remscheid, Germany further expanding its precision-rolling capabilities and strengthening its position in the global market.


Under Ulbrich's ownership, the New Bedford, MA facility will be named Ulbrich Precision Alloys and the location in Remscheid, Germany will be Ulbrich Europe Metals.

These acquisitions mark a significant milestone in Ulbrich's growth strategy, allowing the company to enhance its precision re-rolling capabilities, particularly in light-gauge, wide-width nickel alloys, titanium, and specialty stainless steel.

"We are thrilled to welcome Ulbrich Precision Alloys and Ulbrich Europe Metals to the family," said Chris Ulbrich, CEO and Chairman of Ulbrich's board. "These acquisitions are a transformative step in our journey, and we believe that all roads lead to Ulbrich as we continue to expand our product offerings for an ever-growing precision strip market."

ATI (NYSE: ATI) is a global producer of high-performance materials and solutions for the aerospace and defense markets, and critical applications in electronics, medical and specialty energy. ATI, a publicly traded company, has agreed to sell its precision rolled strip operations as part of its strategic realignment.

Ulbrich will continue to supply the global market with the same alloys and intermediate volumes of specialty gauges, including precision-rolled options, that were previously offered by ATI. Customers, both new and existing, will enjoy the industry-leading metallurgical expertise and swift responsiveness that have become hallmarks of Ulbrich's technical and commercial teams. Furthermore, customers will benefit from enhanced synergies across Ulbrich's divisions, creating a seamless, one-stop solution for their entire product development journey—from small R&D batches to full-scale production.

"We're grateful to the employees at both facilities for joining the Ulbrich team," said Jon Ulbrich, President of UIbrich's Service Center Group. "We look forward to servicing new markets and new customers with these acquisitions."

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
