According to Dr. Jon Gluckman, President, and CEO of Sixth Wave; “This represents another major step forward ensuring the long-term revenue generation strategy for Sixth Wave regarding the Affinity™ System. Moreover, it allows Sixth Wave to take advantage of the expanding business base of AESI into non-cannabis extraction and purification markets that will require new molecularly imprinted polymers using the Affinity™ System architecture. Ultimately, this will allow each company to work together and shorten development times for market introduction of new products/services.”

Peter Toombs, CEO of AESI adds; “This is a very exciting time in the growth of AESI. Becoming a public company will support our efforts to expand our offerings and address emerging markets worldwide. We have very exciting growth opportunities which should result in substantial value accrual.
