Arctic’s story is one of classic American grit. In 1986, Chuck and Peggy Potter, both avid scuba divers, recognized a need for reliable high-pressure air solutions. Taking a brave step forward, they founded their own compressor company in Silver Bay, MN. Their commitment to quality and customer service quickly established the company as a trusted provider in the industry.
The business evolved into a second-generation operation when their son, Steven Potter, joined the team. Driven by a vision to expand manufacturing and technical capabilities, Steven launched Arctic Compressor. Today, under Steven’s leadership, we continue to innovate, providing SCBA containment fill stations and compressors that meet the world’s highest safety and performance standards.
We don’t just sell. We support. We’re part of this community, and we’re here to support so you can serve.
With Arctic’s growth, we are proud to be able to provide onsite breathing air at a variety of different events, including FDIC H.O.T. Sessions, Fire Schools & Trainings, and the Firefighter Challenge League. We’re also a proud member of the Firefighter Air Coalition.
We are backed by an exceptional Authorized Dealer Network. These hand-picked partners ensure that Arctic customers receive top-tier service and maintenance across the country.
