On the corner of South 10th and Harrison Streets, sits the refurbished former Mack Trucks Plant 4A,
now known as Bridgeworks Enterprise Center (BEC). Since 1989, the 64,000 square foot facility has
been home to 11 manufacturing clients and is the only business incubator in the Lehigh Valley
dedicated primarily to manufacturing startups. In addition to AEDC’s incubation clients, BEC also
supports multiple entrepreneur tenants who utilize the Flex Office or co-working space for non-
manufacturing purposes.
Year after year, Bridgeworks Enterprise Center’s incubation clients produce millions in revenue,
create dozens of full-time and part-time jobs, pay significant wages and generate new intellectual
property assets. Since its foundation, the Bridgeworks program has launched 70 startup companies,
producing 36 graduates, 34 which are currently operational companies and 6 successful exits
consisting of mergers and/or acquisitions. These manufacturers have helped create over 600+ new
jobs around the Lehigh Valley and beyond.
