About Albright
Founded in 1946 by Victor Bedggood and Roland Catt, Albright International was born from a vision of creating robust and reliable electrical components. With a steadfast commitment to quality and innovation, the company has grown from a small venture in the post-war UK into a globally recognized leader in the design and manufacture of DC contactors and emergency disconnect switches. The founders' courage and determination in the face of early challenges established a legacy of integrity and excellence that continues to guide the company through its third generation of family ownership.
Albright International's product portfolio includes a vast array of over 100 types of contactors, from small, printed circuit board-mounted versions to large, high-voltage models, alongside a comprehensive range of emergency disconnect switches. These high-quality components are crucial for a wide variety of applications, serving industries such as electric vehicles, telecommunications, marine, and industrial trucks. The company's in-house design and manufacturing capabilities allow for a high degree of customization, ensuring that they can meet the specific and demanding needs of their diverse clientele.
