Polaris Breaks Ground on Major Facility Expansion

MINNEAPOLIS (September 28, 2012) — Polaris Industries Inc. today broke ground on an expansion of the Company's Product Development Center near Wyoming, Minn. Since opening in 2005, the 126,000 square foot research and development facility has been pivotal in Polaris' ascent to the top of the global powersports market.

“Continuously improving our technology, and incorporating those advances into our vehicles, is the cornerstone of our success, and expanding our Product Development Center paves the way for its future contributions.” said Scott Wine, Polaris CEO.

The expansion of the Wyoming facility will add 144,000 square feet to the existing building, more than doubling its size. This new space will provide large work bays for off-road vehicles, flexible conference and display space, a new electrical lab, and a new EMI room. The construction effort will be led by Ryan Companies, US, the same firm that led construction on the original building in 2005.

The project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2013.
