Arctic Cat builds 1,000,000th sled since 1983 revival

Barreling down on its 50th Anniversary (1962-2012), Arctic Cat has reached a special milestone since the company was brought back to life in 1983 as one of the leading snowmobile manufacturers. A 2011 Crossfire 800 LTD marks the 1,000,000th snowmobile built since August of 1983.

“This milestone is heartfelt in several ways; Industry-leading innovation is important, but its special knowing generations of Arctic Cat enthusiasts have enjoyed our products,” says Arctic Cat CEO Christopher Twomey. “These enthusiasts push us to innovate for future generations.”

To commemorate the occasion, the Crossfire 800 LTD made its way through the assembly line and over 1,100 employees signed their name while a group photo was taken after production.
