We were born in the North, raised on snow and gravel, and we cut our teeth helping adventurers test their limits. And we still make our home on the great plains of Minnesota. Arctic Cat was formed by Edgar Hetteen in 1962, and transformed into a leading snowmobile, side-by-side and ATV manufacturer over decades of trail riding, racing and bringing friends and families together. Our community is tight-knit, passionate and proud. And we love being part of it.
