MEETING DEMANDTODAY
AND TOMORROW
We completed our 425,000-square-foot
Monterrey manufacturing facility on
time and on budget. The Mexico location
provides lower-cost ORV production and
an efficient distribution platform for
penetrating Latin and South American
markets to drive future growth.
OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY AND COST CONTROL ARE CORE
STRENGTHS AT POLARIS. WE DEMONSTRATED THAT AGAIN IN
2011 BY SUCCESSFULLY RESTRUCTURING OUR MANUFACTURING
OPERATIONS INTO FOUR CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE: ROSEAU,
MINNESOTA; SPIRIT LAKE, IOWA; OSCEOLA, WISCONSIN; AND OUR
NEWEST FACILITY IN MONTERREY, MEXICO.

MONTERREY EMPLOYEES HAVE QUICKLY EMBRACED OUR COMPANY CULTURE. A COMMON PHRASE HEARD AROUND THE PLANT IS “YO SOY POLARIS,” OR “I AM POLARIS.”
