Mattracks was started back in the early nineties by Glen Brazier, the company CEO, with a little help from his then 11 year old son, Matt. Matt made a drawing of a large truck with tracks instead of tires and he asked his dad, "Could we make something like this?" After a few years of development and testing, Mr. Brazier gained his first of many patents on his track conversion design.The first set of Mattracks was manufactured in Thief River Falls, Minnesota in 1992. Later, production was moved to its current location in Karlstad, a small town in northwest Minnesota, with the first tracks being sold to the public in 1994.Mattracks, Inc. was incorporated in 1995 and at that time employed just six people to manufacture and market the original rubber track conversion system. The first model was sold primarily in the U.S. markets, as well as in Canada. Mattracks added additional sales staff in 1999 to address the growing interests in their products from the international market.In 2001, Mattracks introduced their LiteFoot line of ATV track conversion systems, adding to the MATTRACKS line that primarily covered automotive applications such as trucks and SUVs. The following year they added the Track-tor Assist line to cover tractors, which has since grown to include just about any off-road piece of equipment from seismic vibrators weighing close to 80,000 lbs to large telehandlers to specialized harvesters. Today, Mattracks has over 100 models and has customers in over 100 countries on all seven continents.
