About the owner: Polaris
Polaris is a publicly listed company headquartered in Medina, United States, founded in 1954. Brandtree records 2 brands under its control, and it is listed as NYSE: PII.
Polaris Inc. is a Minnesota-based maker of off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, on-road vehicles and boats. Its 10-K for 2025 says the Delaware company, formerly Polaris Industries Inc., was formed in 1994 and began doing business in 1954. The same filing says that on 10 October 2025 it agreed to sell a majority interest in the Indian Motorcycle business and that the sale closed in the first quarter of 2026, so Indian Motorcycle is not listed here. Its other brands, including the Bennington, Godfrey and Hurricane boats and the Klim and 509 apparel lines, are omitted for want of a fitting category or a documented origin.
🇺🇸 Slingshot and other American brands
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 2,399 brands that began in the United States. 461 of them (19%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country; Slingshot is not one of them.
