North Shore Compressor was founded in 1986 by Charles and Peggi Potter in Silver Bay, Minnesota.

Since 1986, North Shore Compressor has grown steadily. It became a second-generation family owned business when Steven Potter joinied his parents in operation of the company in 2007. Another milestone was achieved in 2009 when North Shore Compressor announced the manufacture and production of their own high-pressure compressors under the brand name of ARCTIC COMPRESSOR. ARCTIC COMPRESSORS are produced with high quality materials, built in the United States, with design modifications to improve service life and increase customer satisfaction. In 2018 ARCTIC COMPRESSOR was spun off to became it's own company with Steven Potter being the President. Chuck and Peggi remain at the helm of North Shore Compressor and concentrating on the used, rebuilt and repair market for high pressure compressors. This is the root of this company and what we do best!
In 2021, North Shore Compressor expanded it's facilities once again to a new location at 3000 Hill Ave., Superior, Wisconsin, allowing for space to bring in, repair, and ship out compressors for our customers.
As North Shore Compressor continues to grow, Chuck and Peggi, along with the staff at North Shore Compressor pledge their continued commitment to providing the highest quality service and air products at an affordable cost.
