Pacific Hovercraft New Zealand Limited - Corporate
Profile
Pacific Hovercraft NZ Ltd is a hovercraft design and manufacturing
company that was formed in July 1997 by Nigel Golding and Stephen
Preest. It was created to develop and capitalise on the great potential
we saw for a modern, reliable, quiet and controllable performance
hovercraft for the world market. With distributors in New Zealand,
Australia, USA, Korea and Canada, Pacific Hovercraft NZ Ltd is a
rapidly growing force worldwide. Our success and growth from modest
beginnings is due to the fact that we are passionate about hovercraft,
that we care about our customers and that we provide quality, reliable
products. Pacific Hovercraft is wholly NZ owned and has two directors
and four shareholders. Prior to setting up the company, both Nigel
and Steve had successful functioning businesses and many years of
working with hovercraft. Their joint experience and reputation of
providing solutions for problems by means of hovercraft systems
extends internationally.
