Bridgeport stands as a legendary name in the realm of vertical milling machines and machining centers, boasting a long standing legacy that dates back to 1938 under the name of Bridgeport Machines Inc.. Originally sold in 1938 to Textron Inc., this iconic brand embarked on a new chapter when it joined forces with Hardinge, Inc. in 2004. The legacy continued as Bridgeport captured headlines again in 2023, with its latest acquisition by the manufacturing conglomerate InCompass™, marking yet another milestone in its storied journey of engineering excellence and innovation.
