Counterfeit Hovercraft Warning!
Matteo Passoni, Carlo Guido Passoni, and their
start-up company Hi Tech International S.r.l. (HTI) of Italy, have counterfeited the
patented Neoteric Hovertrek™ recreational, rescue and commercial hovercraft by
stealing Neoteric’s patented designs and illegally splash molding the
Hovertrek™ to produce inexpensive tooling. HTI is aggressively marketing
these unreliable forgeries under names such as Hoverescue Model 425 and Hoverescue
Model 525.
There is widespread concern in the hovercraft industry that HTI is
threatening consumer safety by selling hovercraft with no track record, while
plagiarizing Neoteric’s logo and web site text to fraudulently claim
Neoteric’s 40-year history in hovercraft design and technology. HTI’s
rescue hovercraft forgeries have serious problems such as exploding fans, and pose
a danger to first responders and to those they are tasked to save.
To read how Hi Tech International perpetrated this theft - in their
own words - and to understand the risks of utilizing HTI’s counterfeit
hovercraft, we urge you to see the World Hovercraft Organization’s
