“At Dead River Company, we know that our ability to serve our customers is strongest when we hire the best workforce. Boots2Roots provides us access to transitioning military members who bring integrity, learning agility, team focus, and a willingness to go above and beyond to serve our customers.

At Nichols Portland we are recognized as a leader and innovator in powdered metal manufacturing, billet and niche pumps applications supporting the automotive and other commercial industries. Nichols Portland also provides systems engineering to its customers. A complete fluid power or fluid transfer package. Nichols Portland is the world’s first manufacturer of gerotors and gerotor pumps, Nichols has more than 85 years of continuous experience in the manufacturing, design, application, testing and validation of these products.  As a Maine-based company we are acutely aware of the growing challenges associated with workforce attraction and are excited to partner with Boots2Roots- a leader and innovator in Maine’s workforce attraction efforts. Workforce attraction affects all Maine businesses, so partnering with Boots2Roots, and hiring former military talent, makes sense for Nichols Portland and the entire business community.
