TZ Ltd. (ASX:TZL), known previously by various other names, is a company that develops and licenses propriety technologies.

[edit] History

Pharmol Pacific Pty Ltd. was founded in 1986 in New Zealand. Following numerous name changes, the company became CED Australasia in 2002. In 2004, CED Australasia acquired Telezygology, Inc., a United States fastener company that had formed in 1998. Soon after, the company renamed itself to TZ Ltd.[2] Around 2005, the company moved its headquarters from Sydney, Australia to Chicago, Illinois, but it remains registered on the Australian Securities Exchange.

[edit] Products

One of TZ Ltd.'s main products is intelligent fastening, a technology that allows fasteners to be controlled remotely. Dickory Rudduck, an Australian architect and inventor, invented the intelligent fastening technology.[3] The technology was a 2005 Product of the Year finalist for NASA Tech Briefs magazine.[4]
