ThermoCeramix Finalizes Agreement to Co-develop TCX™ - Powered Electric Grill with Zephyr Ventilation

MONTREAL, July 2, 2015 /CNW/ - ThermoCeramix Corporation ("ThermoCeramix", "TCX" or the "Company") (TSX Venture Exchange: TCX.V), a technology-licensing company engaged in the development of high-performance, energy-efficient electric heating solutions, announced today that it has finalized its co-development agreement with Zephyr Ventilation Inc. ("Zephyr") to jointly develop an electric grill using the TCX^TM heating technology. Zephyr is a San Francisco-based market leader in kitchen ventilation hood design, innovation and technology.

"Our agreement with Zephyr is an important milestone in our licensing strategy," said Louis Desmarais, Chief Executive Officer of ThermoCeramix. "Zephyr's decision to choose our heating technology in the development of their first electric grill is a confirmation of our revolutionary heating solution. The co-developed grill will combine Zephyr's cutting-edge, innovative design with our proprietary electric platform technology to offer consumers a high-performance, competitively-priced electric grill that can be used both indoors and outdoors. We look forward to completing a definitive licensing agreement and the commercialization of our joint electric grill upon successful completion of our co-development activities."

The co-developed electric grill is Zephyr's first product offering outside of its extensive line of kitchen ventilation hoods. ThermoCeramix and Zephyr are actively working on finalizing the design and prototype of the co-developed grill. In parallel to these efforts, they have commenced pre-production phases of the project with commercial launch anticipated no later than early 2016.

ThermoCeramix's platform heating technology applies a proprietary thermal coating directly onto the surface requiring heat to create a tight bond and maximize heat-transfer efficiencies. The technology's extraordinary conductivity will allow the co-developed electric grill to reach up to 700°F in less than 10 minutes without a lid, offering superior performance relative to most gas barbecues with their lids open.  The co-developed grill will be portable and can be used in condominiums and apartment buildings, with open flame barbecue restrictions, as well as outdoor spaces.
