Covalon Technologies Ltd. (the "Company" or "Covalon") (TSXV: COV), an advanced medical technologies company, today announced
that it will be one of six companies participating in this year’s Ontario Trade Medical Mission to Mexico. As part of the trade
mission, Covalon will be a featured company at the Ontario Government’s pavilion at EXPOMED Exhibition and Congress from June 8 to
10 in Mexico City.
“Mexico is key to accelerating our business in Latin America,” said John R. Hands, Covalon’s Executive Vice President. “By
leveraging the infrastructure and connections that the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship, Immigration and International Trade has
established, we have secured key meetings with key medical opinion leaders, healthcare practitioners and potential distribution
partners. Consistent with our model in other geographic markets, this trade mission allows us to efficiently increase our brand
awareness and establish key relationships within the region.”
EXPOMED Mexico 2016 is the most important international health and innovation forum in Mexico, with the most complete,
state-of-the-art technologies and products for both private and public health institutions that benefit the development activities
of the sector. Expected participants include local key opinion leaders, healthcare practitioners, medical society members, as well
as members of the business, and educational communities.
In addition to the pavilion at EXPOMED, the Ontario Government’s mission is planning several events including on-site visits and
presentations to high-quality private hospitals as well as business to business meetings at the Ontario pavilion during the
exposition.
