Polaris buys Timbersled

SANDPOINT — A locally-grown company just got called from the minors up to the big leagues.
Timbersled Products, Inc., maker of snowmobile suspensions, and more recently, conversion kits that turn off-road dirt bikes into winter snow machines, has been sold to Polaris Industries, Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
If news of the acquisition of a large local employer makes you nervous, it certainly isn’t bothering anyone at Timbersled. Employees were hard at work Thursday at the company’s Ponderay manufacturing facility, and officials expect to see continued growth as the newest part of the Polaris family.
