Bergen Industries

What Bergen Industries does

Bergen Industries is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of construction and maintenance lighting fixtures, lamps, cords, and whips, founded in 1973 and headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin. The company designs and produces electrical accessories targeted at the construction trades and job-site illumination market, with a narrow product line focused on temporary and permanent lighting hardware, cord assemblies, and wiring whips used in building and maintenance work.

The company's revenue model is built on wholesale distribution of physical electrical components to professional tradespeople and contractors, though no pricing model, margins, contract structures, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available source material. With 1-10 employees, Bergen Industries operates as a small-scale, privately held manufacturing entity with minimal public visibility — no management team, investor roster, parent company, or corporate structure details are disclosed for the entity itself. The firmographic data references bergeninc.com as its website, and the address it shares with nVent Gardner Bender at 16250 W Woods Edge Rd, New Berlin, WI suggests possible co-location or operational overlap with a larger electrical products group, though no formal parent-subsidiary relationship is confirmed for Bergen Industries in the input data.

No product pricing, certifications, patents, awards, regulatory actions, mergers, acquisitions, or leadership changes are disclosed for Bergen Industries in the available sources. The company should be regarded as a small, privately held niche manufacturer with limited public information available for investment diligence.
