Alexium is finalising specifications of the product as requested by Benwel. Following which, Benwel will commence presenting the product to the end customers before formal product launch and sales this year.

President of Benwel, Roger Benjamin, said, "Automotive racing is an industry that completely revolves around performance and the expectation for their safety equipment is no different. The success of Alexicool in the bedding market and the strong market validation of Alexiflam has fuelled the opportunity to co-develop similar features for sports apparel to launch a new product line for the fall of 2017."

Deputy CEO of Alexium, Dirk Van Hyning, said, "Partnering with an organisation with significant experience in the auto racing industry will greatly increase visibility into the marketplace and accelerate Alexium's time to market. As Alexium continues to broaden its FR and PCM technology platforms, the FR Protective Clothing and Sports Apparel markets are logical next steps in carving out Alexium's foothold in performance apparel."
