TORONTO, Feb. 21, 2012 /CNW/ - Cymat Technologies Ltd., a materials technology company focused on the military, automotive and architectural industries, today announced major new Alusion™ orders and progress with its distributor base.

Stone Source, a recently signed Alusion™ distributor, placed its first series of stocking orders. Stone Source is a major a New York City-based architectural materials distributor with coverage in 16 states through distribution warehouses in New Jersey, Chicago and Los Angeles. The subsequent formal launch of Alusion™ through an email blast to clients resulted in record traffic volumes to their website followed by a major influx of enquiries about Alusion™.

Freund GmbH, previously an agent of Alusion™, was recently re-signed as a distributor and has placed a series of stocking orders. Freund GmbH is a German architectural materials distributor that was previously responsible for securing the Audi business for Alusion - Cymat's largest Alusion™ order to date.

The addition of these two companies brings Alusion's™ stocking distributor count to six covering strategic areas throughout North America and Europe. Cymat's strategy regarding Alusion™ is to have stocking distributor coverage in major markets worldwide together with agency representation in minor markets. In this vein, Cymat recently signed Geopet Aluminum to represent Alusion™ in Cypress and is in negotiations with agents in the UK, China and Russia, as well as a major stocking distributor for all of Latin America.

"We are excited about the potential for significant Alusion™ sales from our new stocking distributors" said David Fowler, Cymat's President and COO.
