NewView named aviation business of the year
By Nick Sargent of the Northwestern
It was 40 years ago when Bruce Botterman made a prophetic statement to his future wife, Rae, while the couple drove through suburban Chicago.
“It was 1962 and we drove by this small place called Bruce’s Automotive and I said to her, ‘It would really be nice to have our own aviation business one day, and it’d be nice to have a hangar and have it say Bruce’s Airmotive on the side,’” he remembered.
Except for the name – the couple’s business is called NewView Technologies -- the dream came true. And last week, the dream got a little sweeter for the Bottermans when the Wisconsin Aviation Trades Association named their business the Wisconsin Aviation Business of the Year.
“I feel very blessed to have the best partner anyone could ask for and have the best business partner someone could have,” Rae Botterman said. “For me personally, this is a dream come true.”
It was a role reversal for Bruce Botterman at the organization’s annual conference in Madison where the Bottermans picked up the award. He is the trades association president and typically presents the award to the winner. But this year, he was the one giving the acceptance speech.
“It feels good to know our peers recognized that we’re forward thinking and provided services that really didn’t exist at the airport here in Oshkosh,” he said. “The award is so meaningful because we’re recognized by peers in our industry.”
The Bottermans established NewView in 1997 with more than 25 years of aviation business experience under Bruce’s belt. They bought the assets of a defunct Texas company that provided window repair services after realizing Northeast Wisconsin was underserved in that area, he said.
