Duffy Trading Company’s leadership team—Fain Moran, Brian Ulbricht, and John Sellman—brings decades of experience across every level of the recycling and sustainability value chain.
From hands-on processing and plant operations to national brokerage, logistics coordination, and end-market development, their collective background provides a comprehensive, real-world understanding of how materials move, how value is created, and where inefficiencies exist.
This depth of experience shapes Duffy’s core philosophy: deliver practical, reliable solutions that work in the real world—not just on paper. The team approaches every partnership with a focus on transparency, accountability, and long-term alignment. Customers rely on Duffy for consistent execution and clear reporting, while suppliers benefit from strong relationships, fair dealing, and a steady flow of opportunities.
At its core, Duffy’s leadership believes that service is the differentiator—combining industry knowledge, responsiveness, and disciplined oversight to ensure materials are handled responsibly, value is maximized, and expectations are exceeded across every touchpoint.
Duffy Trading Company believes strong communities are built by those who serve others. We are proud to align with Reforge, a Maryland-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering veterans and first responders. Reforge fosters purpose, builds community, and promotes wellness for the heroes who have given so much in service to others. When those who serve thrive, the communities around them grow stronger — a reflection of our belief that sustainability is about people as much as it is about resources.
