The firm was established in 1894 by John Joseph Bergin (known as 'Joe') (1871-1927). In 1899 J J Bergin described himself as a 'heraldic engraver' living at 278 Kennington Road, Lambeth. The firm started drawing and painting heraldic designs but by 1900s had begun engraving on precious metal for west-end jewellers. In 1926 his son Norrie Bergin took over. By 1963 the firm described itself as 'herald, general and machine engravers, saw piercer, contractors to H. M. Government Departments'. The firm was later continued by David Bedford.

By 1927 the firm and workshop was based at Golden Square, Soho; later moved to Marshall Street, Carnaby Street, Soho (-195-); 11 Lancashire Court, New Bond Street ([1950]-1975); 42 Store Street (1975-1993); Clerkenwell Workshops, Islington (1993-2003); 14-16 Meredith Street (2003-2012); Faversham, Kent (2012-).
