Nathan and Lewis Albert arrived in Waterbury, CT from Lithuania.
The Albert brothers began their own scrap yard.
The Company moved to Judd Street in downtown Waterbury to a 5,000-sf building on 2 acres of land.
Sidney, Nathan’s oldest son, entered the family business.
Sidney’s son, Burt, entered the family business and devoted his energy toward expanding the processing of industrial scrap.
The Company moved to 225 East Aurora Street in 1971, and shortly after relocating increased the size of the building by 30%.
The Company acquired 181 East Aurora Street, approximately 45,000 SF to further expand its interior non-ferrous processing space and ferrous metal processing yard.
Eric, Burt’s older son, joined the family business and Jonathan, Burt’s younger son, followed 5 years later.
The Company acquired the former Waterbury Rolling Mills property at 240 East Aurora Street to expand its interior non-ferrous processing SF to approximately 200,000 SF on 21 acres.
Jake, Jonathan’s son, joined the family business as the fifth generation of Alberts in the business.
The Company expanded its processing operations into an additional 10 acre, 130,000 sf facility across the street on East Aurora Street.
When Nathan and Lewis Albert first came to Waterbury in 1891 and started their own scrap metal yard in 1895, they probably never thought Albert Bros., Inc. would grow to become one of the country’s premier metal processing and recycling businesses. As Waterbury became more industrialized over the years, the company thrived. Albert Bros. proudly celebrates 127 years in business. Albert Brothers is a family owned business, built on tradition, and has been for generations. Nathan’s oldest son, Sidney, joined the business in 1919. He became president of Albert Bros. in 1929. Sidney’s oldest son Burt, 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 Eric and Jonathan joined the company. Burt had the opportunity to witness his then 26-year old grandson, Jake, join the family business a month before he passed away in May of 2019. Jake begins the fifth generation in the Albert family to continue the tradition.
For 127 years, Albert Bros. has continued to build on and maintain a significant local, regional, and international reputation. However, the manner in which we conduct business has remained constant.

The metal-recycling sector as a whole is facing headwinds, but the company remains bullish about its future. Metal recycling is here to stay and the company is passionate about its role in helping to conserve resources for future generations while making its communities better places to live and work in. We believe that the heightened awareness of the energy savings of using recycled metals in the production of new products and the positive environmental impact it has are the keys to future market growth. We are confident the company will continue to evolve to meet any new developments.
Today, Albert Bros. employs approximately 65 full- time team members, some of whom have worked at the company for decades, providing both suppliers and consumers with the industry’s most professional service and quality products tailored to their needs. Eric, Jonathan, and Jake Albert acknowledge the key to our longterm success is treating everyone like family, including employees and customers. We value our relationships with our team members, their families, and our customers. These relationships have been built on mutual trust and respect for one another.
Albert Bros. looks forward to operating a successful family business in Waterbury for at least an additional 127 years.
