Orbite Technologies Ships Additional 5N+ High Purity Alumina Samples


MONTREAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 15, 2015) - Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX:ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") announces it is shipping today additional 5N+ high purity alumina ("HPA") samples to seven prospective customers.

Six of the prospective customers to receive the new 5N+ samples had not previously received Orbite's HPA. The Company had previously shipped 4N8 and 5N+ HPA samples to prospective customers (see April 7, 2015 and September 10, 2015 press releases respectively).

"The new 5N+ samples, produced at our Cap-Chat facility, replicate sample purity and consistency of those shipped before, thereby validating the degree of control and customization we have over our process," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "This is a very important factor that we believe will allow us to differentiate Orbite in a market where product consistency continues to be one of the key issues in supplier selection and has formed a barrier to the premium market for some HPA producers."
