MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Following 16 years of service, R.M. (Mark) Schreck, has announced his
decision to retire from the Polaris Industries Inc. Board of Directors,
effective immediately, after the 2016 Annual Shareholders meeting.
Schreck’s extensive engineering and manufacturing background and mastery
of the research and development process proved invaluable over a period
during which Polaris launched numerous new products and designs. Schreck
served as the Chair of the Polaris Technology Committee for nearly 15
years and was instrumental in its creation and development. Today, the
Technology Committee serves a pivotal role in providing oversight of
product plans, technology development and related business process.
“I am humbled to have served on the Board with Mark,” said Scott Wine,
Polaris Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Aside from his wisdom and
innovative approach to decision making, Mark led with great dignity and
passion. He was the driving force behind the creation of our product
development process, and his guidance essentially transformed our
engineering function. With these contributions and numerous others, his
legacy is permanently stamped upon so many things that make Polaris
great. I cannot stress enough how incredibly valuable a board member he
has been, and we will sorely miss his wise counsel. We thank Mark for
his years of dedicated service and wish him the very best.”
