Cat Dives Deep Into Engine Biz

Arctic Cat invested millions in a domestic ATV engine facility in its hometown of Thief River Falls, Minnesota about two years ago.

This summer, AC announced it will be going even deeper into the ATV (and snowmobile?) engine biz beginning almost immediately.

An $8 million (USD) engine plant is slated to be built in St. Cloud, Minnesota occupying 15 acres with an adjacent 40 acre vehicle test track.

Construction will begin early in 2006 and will be completed by next fall with engines flying out the doors early in 2007.
