About Hovertechnics

Hovertechnics was formed in the State of Michigan in 1984 and is a family-owned corporation.  Its sole business is the design, engineering, manufacturing and marketing of hovercraft, hovercraft trailers, related accessories and replacement parts. Our manufacturing facility is in southwest Michigan, a short distance from the epicenter of the US Recreational Vehicle Industry and close to the St. Joseph River where it feeds into Lake Michigan.  The location has many advantages.  Nearby Elkhart, Indiana, has the largest concentration of fiberglass shops and related skilled labor in the US.  Southwest Michigan also has a plentiful supply of automotive related, experienced manpower.  It is centrally located with regard to the North American market and has fast rail links for container transport to the Port of Montreal and to the East and West US Coast Ports.

Climactically speaking, Michigan has the advantage of deep freeze winters and semi-tropical summers, ideal conditions for testing hovercraft in all weather conditions.
