Bridgeport Fittings, Stratford, Conn., introduced a new line of labor-saving and problem-solving devices including connectors and couplings, and enlisted the help of a new super hero to get the word out.

The Mighty-B fittings line is represented by “Mighty-B,” a “mighty man” superhero, who stands for the innovation, speed, and maneuverability of the new Mighty-B line, the company said. Mighty-B's attributes are suggestive of Bridgeport's own product offerings: his gloves are threaded metal gauntlets, his boots are topped with locknuts and fastened with tri-drive screws, and he sports a locknut belt. With a flowing cape conveying speed and maneuverability, and the Bridgeport “B” emblazoned upon his chest, he is instantly recognizable as a special Bridgeport persona, ready to come to the aid of the contractor in the field.

“Mighty-B represents the innovative and speedy solutions we plan to offer contractors that will make their lives easier and more productive,” said Paul Suzio, Bridgeport president and COO. “Mighty-B also relates to the Bridgeport brand itself with his small, but powerful, stature and his all-American personality. Through his own web page and social media channel, we hope he will be yet another source of valuable information and support for our customers and partners.”
