ABOUT NUBRIC

A LASTING LEGACY.

In 1950, New Ulm's biggest employer, The Eagle Roller Mill was nearing the tail-end of its existence, so 39 New Ulm men and women invested nearly $100,000 or their own money to form New Ulm Industries, NUBRIC's predecessor. Their first initiative was to acquire land to construct a new manufacturing building that would hopefully attract new businesses to New Ulm. Below you can see the businesses that have come to New Ulm with NUBRIC's assistance.
