MEMEX Receives $431 Thousand of New Purchase Orders

BURLINGTON, ON--(Marketwired - Apr 4, 2017) - Memex Inc. ("MEMEX") (TSX VENTURE: OEE) announced today that it has received $431k of new purchase orders in the last two weeks of the most recent quarter. This latest increase in business is a result of the availability of the new MERLIN Tempus product suite. These orders represent a combination of both new customers and follow-on business from existing customers.

"The uncertainties related to the new Administration in the United States appears to have subsided significantly towards the back-half of our second quarter," said MEMEX's President & CEO David McPhail. "As a result, MEMEX booked $431 thousand of business over the last two weeks of Q2. Recently, the American Association of Manufacturing Technology (AMT) announced that its members are far more confident since the elections, and that technology investment should begin in earnest over the Spring. We parallel these sentiments, and anticipate that MEMEX's business will continue to ramp up."
