Arctic Compressor

Arctic Compressor is an American manufacturer of high-pressure breathing air compressor systems, supplying clean, dry and reliable air for life-safety operations and industrial applications. Founded in 1986 and based in Superior, Wisconsin, the company is now in its second generation of family ownership, having been established by Chuck and Peggy Potter and led today by their son Steven Potter as President and CEO.

The company designs and builds SCBA and SCUBA fill stations - certified to NFPA 1901 - alongside breathing air compressors, mobile breathing air systems and supporting parts and accessories. Its customers include firefighting departments, federal agencies such as the Department of Defense, emergency response teams, industrial operators and the scuba diving sector. Assembly and testing are carried out at the company's headquarters, which it describes as the only truly American-made breathing air manufacturer in the industry; parts are locally sourced, which the company says shortens delivery times.

Technical work at Arctic Compressor spans high-pressure air compression, breathing air system design, SCBA/SCUBA fill station engineering, mobile system integration and pressure system testing and assembly. The company emphasises rigorous safety and performance standards, offers onsite assistance to customers, provides comprehensive warranty options and positions its mission around serving those who protect communities and power industries.
