“It's really two things number one is the people and the business we have incredible employees we're up to 18,000 most of the employees own the company and they have a vested interest in how well we do.”
“The second thing that has made this company so important is innovation. We listen to our customers and we continue to make the products better and meet the needs and wants that they have.”
“Innovation is really the lifeblood of the company, it's how the company started in 1954 with the invention of the snowmobile and then evolving that business and learning from our customers.”
“In 2023, 80% of our sales were right here in the US. International is really important to us and we're looking at areas where we can expand our marine business in places like Mexico and New Zealand.”
