Arctic Cat was formed by snowmobile pioneer Edgar Hetteen in 1960 following his departure from Polaris Industries, his previous self-started business. Like Polaris, Arctic Cat grew to become a major manufacturer of snowmobiles, watercraft, and all-terrain vehicles (ATV's). The company's first name was Polar Manufacturing but was soon changed to Arctic Enterprises. The company made their first snowmobile in 1960 and started to grow from there. Various boat manufacturers, including Silver Line, Lund and Spirit Marine, were purchased to attempt to expand the company even more but the company faced a decline in snow-fall and sales that resulted in the company going bankrupt in 1982. Although Arctic Enterprises was now at an all time low, it was only two years before a new company Arctco was cr

  • Arctic Cat was formed by snowmobile pioneer Edgar Hetteen in 1960 following his departure from Polaris Industries, his previous self-started business. Like Polaris, Arctic Cat grew to become a major manufacturer of snowmobiles, watercraft, and all-terrain vehicles (ATV's). The company's first name was Polar Manufacturing but was soon changed to Arctic Enterprises. The company made their first snowmobile in 1960 and started to grow from there. Various boat manufacturers, including Silver Line, Lund and Spirit Marine, were purchased to attempt to expand the company even more but the company faced a decline in snow-fall and sales that resulted in the company going bankrupt in 1982. Although Arctic Enterprises was now at an all time low, it was only two years before a new company Arctco was created to continue the production of Arctic Cat snowmobiles. The company was successful in keeping the Arctic Cat alive and in 1996 the company changed its name to Arctic Cat, the name used today. The company still makes snowmobiles to this day but has expanded their market to all-terrain vehicles and side-by-sides.
