About Us
It began on Main Street in Cumberland, Wisconsin - three friends and a small metal fabricating shop known as Ardisam. Arnie, Dick and Sam worked out of a small garage in the tiny town in Northwestern Wisconsin, but their vision and ingenuity yielded a brand of ice fishing gear and working power equipment that set a new standard in the two industries. Now, 50 years later, Ardisam has become a multi-million dollar, family-owned small business with world-wide impact.
For over 50 years, Ardisam, Inc., has been in the business of providing power equipment and outdoor products to consumers in the United States and Canada. Our mission is to design products that our customers truly don't have to worry about on a day-to-day basis, and that work efficiently and dependably-day after day, year after year. Since its roots in the 1960s, Ardisam has spread its wings far beyond the ice auger and post hole digger it first created. Today, Ardisam has its hands in a growing list of industries. Ardisam's markets primarily include lawn and garden supplies, (Earthquake) and sporting goods, including hunting supplies and ice fishing gear (i.e: Eskimo, Barronett Blinds and Yukon Tracks brands). Ardisam also has lines of multi-fuel and wood pellet stoves (Cumberland Stove Works and Castle Stoves). Beyond those areas however, Ardisam has branched out over the years to begin businesses in transportation (AASM Trucking) and biofuels (SunPower Premium Cold Flow Biodiesel).
Ardisam, Inc., takes great pride in offering the most advanced and efficient products available. We also are proud of our highly skilled team of designers that continually strive to improve our products and introduce an ever-expanding line of new products that make our customers' activities more enjoyable. We are honored to serve the lawn and garden and outdoor activity needs of our customers.
Brands
EskimoIce Fishing Gear
Since 1960, Eskimo has been the premier brand for ice fishing gear. The Eskimo power ice auger, with its proprietary Viper Engine, leads in performance and sales. The Quickfish Series of shelters remains number one in the market. The Eskimo Quantum auger blades lead the industry in cutting speed, control, smoothness and long life. That heritage in the industry, and a commitment to creating ice fishing gear that succeeds in real-world scenarios on the ice, has lead more ice fishermen to choose Eskimo than any other brand.
