(THIEF RIVER FALLS, MN November 5, 2025) – Adding to its team of experienced powersports veterans, Arctic Cat announces Tony Henningson as its new Chief Financial Officer.
With over 30 years of professional experience, Henningson not only brings a strong financial background, but 17 of those years have been within the powersports and marine markets, serving key roles previously at Polaris, Genmar and KTM.
“As a Minnesota native and lifelong snowmobile and powersports enthusiast, I am truly honored and thrilled to play a part in the resurgence of this iconic brand and company,” Henningson said. “Leveraging the unparalleled legacy and passion of the brand and being the best partner we can be to our dealers, suppliers, and consumers is the key to moving Arctic Cat into the driver’s seat within the powersports segment.”
“Tony brings a wealth of valuable experience from multiple segments including powersports, banking, manufacturing, and more,” said Arctic Cat President and CEO, Brad Darling. “His broad base of knowledge combined with his rider-driven enthusiasm for powersports makes him a solid fit and a valuable asset to our team.”
Since purchased by the current ownership team back in April, Arctic Cat has added impressive talent in various aspects of the business with a sharp focus on finding people who bring knowledge, interest and passion for powersports, fulfilling its “Riders First” promise.
Keep it going! Sleds that are at the dealer are SWEET!
Interesting that he was at Genmar, as some may in the know would recall that company was formerly called Minnstar and prior to that was Arctic Enterprises.
Irwin Jacobs. Yikes!
Irv The Liquidator
Yep, the Irv that killed off the Cheetah 5000 after 1978, even though it was still selling ok, rather than than update it. I’ve fisherman were annoyed at its demise. The 48 hp twin was zippy and good enough to drag a small fish shed well. This tale was related to me by some old timers.
Mr. CFO had better balloon the R&D budget for the dirt division. It needs the defibrillator!!
was anything done to the 26 858s to address the run quality issues or clutching from the 25 models?
