WELLINGTON - Computer Systems Engineering (CSE), a Waikato-based plant engineering, systems integration and internet company, will be renamed PavTech New Zealand.
The company has been taken over by Texas-based Pavilion Technologies.
CSE is the parent of Wave Internet, of Hamilton, which will continue under that brand.
The renamed PavTech New Zealand will become Pavilion's global research and development centre for foods, dairy items and beverages and will become the test laboratory for new products.
Pavilion chairman Lee Walker said: "The strategic objectives of both CSE and Pavilion Technologies are very similar and they currently operate in many common markets."
Mr Walker, who has been the president of Dell Computers, said the two offered significant synergies in global markets.
PavTech NZ said it would raise its staff numbers substantially to cater for the demands of global technology development.
It will encourage local talent to remain in New Zealand in what will become "a hub of world-class excellence in technology research here in Waikato."
Meanwhile, Wave Internet will go national through a toll-free service at the end of this year.
