In April of 1949, he married the love of his life, Celeste. Albert determined that he might have difficulty providing for her and their family the way he wanted while working at Jay Electric. Later that same year, he went to work with his brother, Roger. Albert soon purchased his brother’s interest in the company and began implementing his own ideas about doing business. He opened the doors of Spina Electric Company on Charlevoix Street in Detroit. He listened to what the customers said they needed and if he couldn’t do it himself, he found someone who could and persuaded them to work at Spina Electric. It may have cut into his personal profit at the time, but he was committed to the philosophy of putting the customer’s needs first. His decision paid dividends early. His first big account was the Budd Wheel Company and his longest continuous customer has been General Motors.
