Someone preparing to buy a snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle or motorcycle might take a look at Polaris Industries Inc. In 1954, Polaris’ founders, brothers Edgar and Allan Hefteen, collaborating with David Johnson, created one of the first production snowmobiles. It was designed to make remote hunting areas more accessible. The prototype used a grain-silo conveyor belt for a track and an automobile bumper for skis. Today, the company is a leading source of snowmobiles, on-road vehicles, motorcycles, engines, lubricants and other specialty fluids, to the tune of $1.6 billion in annual revenues. Polaris is based in Medina, Minn., and has about 3,000 employees. It ranks No. 911 on the Fortune 1,000.
