Seems unlikely that it's an NZ company since "Nicholas Kelsey, Founder 
and Chief Technology Officer" (quote from Silicon Dust web site) is 
resident in USA. Also web site says "Silicondust USA, Inc. is 
headquartered in Pleasanton, California. We have sales offices in 
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Taiwan, and The 
Netherlands, each with their own distribution centers for these regions. 
Our manufacturing includes Taiwan and the United States."
