Originally established as The Bridgeport Switch Company, the company's product line consisted of electrical switches and receptacles. In 1930, Bridgeport began fulfilling customers' requests for fittings - a move so successful that the company shifted its focus to manufacturing conduit and cable fittings for the electrical industry. Quality fittings constructed of malleable iron, steel, aluminum and brass became the main product focus, and in 1948 the company's name was officially changed to Bridgeport Fittings, Inc. Ten years later, two zinc die-cast products, the 3/8" BX and Romex connectors, were introduced and are still popular today. Still privately owned and located in Stratford, CT, Bridgeport Fittings produces America's #1 quality cable and conduit fittings.
