The official Texas AG notice for Berridge Manufacturing Company identifies the following exposed data:
The more sensitive the data involved, the stronger the potential claim. Disclosure of these categories is legally recognized harm.
Berridge Manufacturing Company operates as an established leader in the metal building products and architectural metal roofing industry, specializing in the manufacture and distribution of high-performance metal panels and systems for commercial and residential construction. Because of its expansive operational footprint, heavy manufacturing infrastructure, and extensive supply chain networks, the company maintains a vast repository of highly sensitive information. This includes comprehensive human resources records, payroll data, banking details, tax documentation, and proprietary corporate records necessary to manage a large workforce, numerous subcontractors, and nationwide commercial clients. Consequently, the organization functions as a significant custodian of confidential personal data belonging to its employees, former workers, and business partners.
In 2025, Berridge Manufacturing Company reported a significant security incident to the Texas Attorney General, triggering widespread concern among affected individuals. While the exact vector of the cyberattack remains under active investigation, breaches affecting major manufacturing and industrial firms typically involve sophisticated ransomware deployments, unauthorized intrusion into corporate server environments, or credential harvesting that allows malicious threat actors to bypass perimeter defenses. Industrial companies are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals aiming to disrupt critical supply chains or extract sensitive internal databases containing unencrypted employee and vendor records.
The data compromised in incidents of this scale routinely includes core personally identifiable information (PII) such as full legal names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, and banking or direct deposit details. The exposure of this information creates severe, long-term risks for victims. Social Security numbers and dates of birth are the foundational building blocks for identity theft, enabling bad actors to open fraudulent lines of credit, apply for government loans, or intercept tax refunds. Furthermore, compromised banking and direct deposit information leaves workers directly vulnerable to unauthorized financial account takeovers and immediate monetary loss.
Under Texas state law, including the Texas Business and Commerce Code, companies operating within the state have a statutory obligation to implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to safeguard sensitive personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. When a data breach of this magnitude occurs, it often serves as strong prima facie evidence that the company failed to maintain adequate technical safeguards, such as robust network segmentation, multi-factor authentication, or timely software patching. This failure to adequately protect sensitive data can constitute a breach of legal duties and implied contracts with employees who trusted the company with their private information.
Receiving an official data breach notification letter from Berridge Manufacturing Company is a formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to inadequate security measures. Legally, the receipt of this letter establishes the concrete injury and standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable. Importantly, affected individuals do not need to wait until they experience actual financial fraud or out-of-pocket losses to seek legal recourse. Our firm evaluates these cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket and owe no attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Notification Delay: Approximately 11 months elapsed between the reported date of the security incident and the company's notification to the Attorney General. Courts have found that excessive notification delays independently support legal claims.
Financial harm is not a requirement. The exposure of your personal information is itself recognized as actionable. Check the list — most letter recipients qualify under at least one item:

Your Social Security number or driver's license number was exposed
Your financial account, credit card, or banking information was disclosed
You reside in the United States (all 50 states eligible)
That letter is legally required and confirms your data was exposed. It also gives you standing to file a claim.

Compensation in a case like Berridge Manufacturing Company's depends on where you live, what was exposed, and how the company responded. Common recovery categories:
Per-incident statutory damages may be available even without proof of fraud; California's $100–$750 statute is the leading example.
Covers fraud charges, unauthorized account activity, and expenses traced directly to the breach.
Compensation for hours spent monitoring accounts, disputing fraud, freezing credit, and dealing with the aftermath of the breach.
Credit-monitoring subscriptions and protection plans you bought because of the breach are recoverable expenses.
SSN and driver's license exposure creates long-term identity theft risk. Courts recognize the ongoing value of this harm and may award damages accordingly.
Exposure of financial account or credit/debit card information entitles victims to recover for actual and potential fraud losses.
Texas's Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 521) requires notification within 60 days and imposes civil penalties up to $500,000 for violations. Texas residents may pursue civil action for data security failures.
