It was during his first trip to Paris that Pothier probably met Belgian manufacturer Joseph Guerin.
Born in the Belgian village of Foret, Guerin worked in textile mills in Belgian and Italy before coming to Woonsocket in 1892 at the age of 41. With Aram Pothier's help, Guerin set up the first large scale, "foreign" spinning plant in Woonsocket, the Guerin Spinning Company, in 1895. By the time of his retirement in 1918, Guerin's holdings included the Alsace Spinning Company, Montrose Weaving Company, Rosemont Dying Company and the American Paper Tube Company. These companies were located in an extensive mill complex (now home to Tinsel Town) that Guerin built on East School Street.
Guerin died in 1923 and is buried in the Pothier Mausoleum in the Precious Blood Cemetery. His mills continued operating in Woonsocket for many years before moving south in the 1950's
