Dixie Aerospace acquired fastener tooling distributor J.R. Potter & Associates Inc.
Dixie Aerospace is now able to provide a multitude of specialty tools and gauges including tools for bearing and fastener installation and removal as well as rivet installation. This addition allows customers to turn to Dixie Aerospace as their single source for all facets of the bearing installation process.
Jason Caldwell, President of Dixie Aerospace, has expressed his excitement about this new offering.
“We are thrilled to have Jim Potter and his company join the Dixie Aerospace team,” stated Dixie CEO Jason Caldwell. “This is a perfect compliment to the bearing products we sell, and allows our customers across the globe to get the right products and the right tools to use them from a single source.”
Jim Potter has 50 years of experience in the tools, fastener, and seal fields of the aerospace industry.
For more than 30 years J.R. Potter & Associates has distributed several tooling lines, including installation and removal tools for bearings and fasteners as well as installation tools for rivets. Potter and Associates distributes for several well known and highly esteemed suppliers, including Rexnord, Helitools Inc., Zephyr Tools, Omega Technologies, HR Tolling, and SECO Seals. In 2009, J.R. Potter and Associates was presented with The President’s “E” Award for Export Excellence, just months after Jim was named Ohio Small Business Exporter of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
