In 1898 Charles E. Potter began developing products that sent electronically coded signals to a central monitoring station. This allowed fire and police officials to be instantly dispatched to any fire or security emergency. By 1920, Potter Electric Signal Company was utilizing customized products and monitoring them with the latest telecommunications equipment. In a time when human initiative was the most valuable industrial commodity, Charles Potter was able to combine state-of-the-art equipment with dedicated men to provide St. Louis with the best night watchmen service in the metropolitan area. Today, Potter is carrying on the legacy of Charles E. Potter by combining the latest technology in fire protection with the dedicated manpower for which they have been known for over one hundred years. With unwavering dedication to their customers, Potter looks to continue as the industry standard in both product and service.

We're All About Protecting What Matters.  Since 1939, we have dedicated ourselves to fire protection engineering, initially in the United States and now worldwide. Today, our expertise, commitment and passion extend across additional domains — including accessibility consulting, risk and hazard analysis, process safety, security risk and emergency management as well as digital innovation across many of our services.  

Our History ... A Story of Growth, Innovation + Success.  Jensen Hughes was launched in 2014 through the historic merger of Hughes Associates and Rolf Jensen & Associates (RJA), two of the most experienced and respected fire protection engineering companies at the time. Since then, we’ve expanded through strategic acquisitions, growing our global presence and service offerings. Through the integration of more than 30 engineering and consulting firms, our global reach has expanded significantly, establishing a market presence 7x larger than that of our closest competitor. Our legacy firms trace their origins back to 1939, a rich history that spans over 80 years of knowledge and innovation worldwide.
