(TSXV: CNO) (OTCID: CANOF) (\"Cal Nano\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with Germany-based Dr. Fritsch Sondermaschinen GmbH (Dr. Fritsch) to become a North American distributor and R&D services partner. Cal Nano will act as a distributor agent for Dr. Fritsch's larger-scale Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) equipment, including aftermarket services. In addition, Cal Nano will support Dr. Fritsch customers with developmental trials, pilot-scale validation, and material evaluation services.\"We are excited to formalize and deepen our relationship with Dr. Fritsch,\" stated Eric Eyerman, CEO. \"Dr. Fritsch is a pioneer and global leader in the field of SPS/FAST, and supplier of our flagship MSP-5 machine in the Santa Ana facility. We believe this strategic partnership rounds out our equipment product portfolio along with combining our efforts to access more North American customers. While our focus is R&D and commercial manufacturing services, this initiative is complementary and important to growing SPS as a key technology for advanced materials.\"\"For Dr. Fritsch, the agreement with Cal Nano is a major milestone in our efforts to strengthen the company's presence in North America and to provide current and future U.S. customers with an even better service,\" stated Ute Wilkinson, President of Dr. Fritsch. \"American customers, especially those in the defense and energy sectors who face export restrictions, will benefit from Cal Nano's robust testing, development, and production capabilities using Dr. Fritsch machines.\"This agreement will remain in effect alongside the existing formal distributor relationship with Japan-based SUGA Co., Ltd.
