Perth, Australia and Greer, South Carolina: Alexium International Group Limited ('Alexium,' 'the Company') (ASX:AJX, OTC QX:AXXIY) announced that new purchase orders were received this week from two new customers in the bedding industry that are headquartered in the U.S. and Europe for Alexicool™, Alexium's proprietary 'phase change material' (PCM) chemistry.

Production has commenced with these two new clients, and once the full transition to Alexium chemistry is complete, the expected product life cycle for production is seven years with ongoing total annual revenue of circa US$2 million (with annual timings fluctuating on demand).

Alexium's new orders are part of the rapid global expansion of Alexicool™, Alexium's phase change technology and follow recent purchase orders from South Asia and the Middle East.

Alexicool™ is a phase change material that makes fabrics that ordinarily retain heat, feel cool to the touch after treatment with Alexicool™ whilst also ensuring durability of the fabric. In addition to bedding, Alexicool has applications for apparel, performance fabrics and other sizable markets.

'Alexium is adding manufacturing locations worldwide to meet rising demand for Alexicool™. We are speeding up plant qualification processes as customers transition into full adaptation of our Alexicool™ technology,' said Michael Schwartz, Vice President of Sales.

'We have strong momentum with international sales of Alexicool™, as this follows on from our recently announced order of Alexicool™ from iTextiles, our partner in South Asia,' said Dirk Van Hyning, President. 'We remain on track to meet projected revenues of US$18.5m for calendar year 2016.'
