RANTS & RUMORS

Dealer Sales Leader
To Leave Cat,
Head To ARGO Sales


One of Arctic Cat's long time veterans is leaving for a new challenge in the all-terrain biz. Joe Klosterman, Cat's dealer sales guru for two decades, will take his knowledge of the powersports business to ARGO , a Canadian manufacturer of wheeled all-terrain vehicles. Rumor has it that Joe will be ARGO 's international sales manager.

With Joe's experience we expect to see a few more ARGO six-wheelers in the world market. The ARGO is a cross between a UTV and a traditional ATV. Except ARGO can ford some serious streams and haul plenty of cargo.

Founded in 1962, Ontario Drive & Gear Limited operates from a 105,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in New Hamburg, Ontario. ODG has established the ARGO as a world leader in amphibious vehicles.

The amphibious, all terrain ARGO is sold worldwide and has proven its capabilities as a reliable off-road vehicle. The 6x6 or 8x8 ARGO models seat up to six passengers. Other applications include hunting, fishing and bush trekking through mud, across water and over snow. More and more commercial users in the utility, natural resource and public sectors rely on the ARGO in the toughest off-road conditions, all year round.ODG has developed a wide range of options offering greater comfort, protection and convenience.

Klosterman will help establish a growing network of stocking distributors and dealers worldwide. For more info about ARGO, go to: http://www.argoatv.com/.

Good luck, Joe!
