Polaris Industries, as part of its expansion plan, has started construction at its product development center near Wyoming, Minnesota, US.

The existing 126,000sq ft research and development facility was opened in 2005 and the expansion will double its size to 144,000sq ft.

The new facility will offer large work bays for off-road vehicles, conference and display space, a new electrical lab, and a new EMI room.

The extra space will also feature expanded cafe and add a new parking lot for additional employees.

US based Ryan Companies will construct the building which is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2013.

Polaris CEO Scott Wine said that opening the Wyoming facility seven years ago reinforced the company's dedication to leading through innovation.

"Continuously improving our technology, and incorporating those advances into our vehicles, is the cornerstone of our success, and expanding our Product Development Center paves the way for its future contributions," Wine said.
