Company Overview
"Understand the riding experience. Live the riding experience. Work to make it better." For more than 50 years, Polaris has been making machines that not only take you out there, they offer you a way out. A break from the routine. An escape from the ordinary. A moment of freedom. With annual 2006 sales of $1.7 billion, Polaris designs, engineers, manufactures and markets all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), including the Polaris RANGERâ„¢, snowmobiles and Victory motorcycles for recreational and utility use. At Polaris, making great products is not just a job; it is a way of life. That is why our creed is etched in steel at the entrance at each of our locations. Our employees are not only building and designing our machines, they are also enthusiastic riders. This gives us the competitive edge because we are working together to make the riding experience better in order to find The Way Out.
