Proudly American, Relentlessly Engineered

Still Calling Minnesota Home
Polaris Inc. was born in 1954 out of American grit and ingenuity. Our founders, Edgar and Allan Hetteen and David Johnson, used their skilled hands and collective creativity to assemble the first Polaris snowmobile from parts in their machine shop in Roseau, Minn. That pioneering spirit has continued to drive Polaris forward over the last 70 years, evolving from a snowmobile manufacturer to creating products that help people enjoy the outdoors whether on sand, trail, road snow, dirt or water. We are proud of what we have accomplished, and our U.S.-based design, engineering and testing are core to our vision and strategy for the future.
