Northwest Power Systems (Bend, OR) will change its name to IdaTech, effective May 1, 2000. The name change is linked with Northwest's decision earlier this year to become a manufacturer of fully integrated fuel cell systems and with IDA Corp's assumed majority ownership of Northwest Power Systems in April 1999.
"IdaTech better communicates our company's involvement in making a new generation of high-technology power equipment in the 21st century," said Alan Guggenheim, Northwest Power Systems president.
