Potter- It is a list of materials and the provider.
Example of a list,
Viscometer (Broockfield).
Water purifier (NANOPURE),
ETFE tubing (TEFZEL),
Cleaner (TERG-A-ZYME)
Thermometer (Digi-Sense),
Pipettors (Eppendorf),
And so on.

Bad English This sounds like very bad, non-native-speaker EN, and I feel sure the word 'potter' is wrong; I can't even guess what they are trying to say, but is there just possibly a connection with 'potentiometer' (often shortened to 'pot') or 'potential divider'?

You may need to find out what the original source language was, in order to try and find out by back-translation what they might actually have meant!

There is a "Potter Shunt" invented by an electrical engineer by name Potter, J.A. and patented in 1947. Dunno if has something to do.

In this concrete case I do believe that Potter and Blumfield are purveyors of the electrpnic equipments sold.
