Although it was not an easy path for Mr.Chen,he understood,that there is no shortcut to success.Finally,Mr.Chen produced the first Bridgeport Type milling machine himself in Taiwan and he swore to build up a larger business than Bridgeport Company in the future.Due to the capital town of the state of Connecticut is "Hartford City",Mr.Chen decided to take it as the brand of She-Hong Industrial Co.,Ltd.In other words,it shows the great aspiration to create a larger business than Bridgeport Company in the future.This is the history of Hartford brand.
