Blair will draw upon his extensive contacts in the automotive manufacturing community to tout the capabilities of SmartMetalTM to automotive producers.

AlusionTM
Despite the ongoing disruption caused by Covid-19, the sales pipeline for AlusionTM remains robust. In the final quarter of fiscal 2021, which ends April 30th, Cymat again expects to ship in excess of $1M of AlusionTM orders.
"In the midst of the worst outbreak of modern times, Cymat is poised to report a historical best level of annual sales," said Michael Liik, CEO of Cymat, "which I believe is a testament to our many years of effort in building AlusionTM into an internationally recognized brand."
SmartMetalTM - Automotive Market
Cymat continues to promote its SmartMetalTM foam in tandem with its automotive engineering partner – Tesseract Structural Innovations Inc. Tesseract has developed a patented Uniform Deceleration Unit ("UDU") that utilizes SmartMetalTM as a key component to manage/mitigate crash energy for vehicles. The UDU design can be adapted to protect vehicle occupants and key components - such as batteries - from a large variety of collision events.
Management is strongly convinced that the unique properties of SmartMetalTM provide an ideal option to the automotive industry searching for light-weight and cost-effective engineering solutions.
"Our recent dialogue with the auto sector indicates to us that vehicle electrification has greatly expanded the receptiveness of OEMs to engineering solutions that employ innovative materials that dramatically reduce vehicle weight," said Michael Liik. "Blair's addition to the Cymat team is particularly timely, and we are confident in his ability to leverage his industry experience to further Cymat's engagement with this important market."
About Cymat Technologies Ltd.
Cymat Technologies Ltd. has the global rights, through patents and established know-how, to manufacture Stabilized Aluminum Foam ("SAF"), a unique, ultra-light, cellular metallic material. The proprietary production process entails the injection of gases through a molten bath of alloyed aluminum infused with ceramic particles. The result is an advanced, lightweight, recyclable material that exhibits unique characteristics including: customizable density and dimensions; mechanical energy absorption; thermal and acoustic insulation; and time, temperature and strain-rate insensitivity. A key benefit of this continuous foam production process is its scalability and resultant low cost of production. SAF is used in such industries as architectural design, military and automotive. Cymat markets its architectural SAF under the AlusionTM brand and its automotive and military SAF under the SmartMetalTM brand.
