TUCSON, Ariz.–CDEX Inc. (OTCBB:CEXI – News) today announced a definitive agreement with ACE Trading Company Limited to be a distributor for the CDEX ID2 Meth ScannerTM. Ace Trading, based in Tokyo will distribute the Scanner to law enforcement, customs facilities, schools, home inspection and other markets throughout Japan where methamphetamine detection is critical.

Steve Schmidt, VP of CDEX’s Security Division noted, “The use of methamphetamine has increased dramatically in Japan in recent years. There are an estimated 1-2 million users and Meth is the most widely used illegal drug in the country. The ID2 Meth ScannerTM is an important, new, front-line tool in the battle against methamphetamine manufacturing and use and the subsequent adverse public safety and health effects associated with passive exposure to the precursor chemicals and residual drug product.”

Mr. Schmidt went on to say, “We are very excited to have Ace Trading Company as part of our global distribution network. ACE is a major player in the Japanese marketplace, with extensive business relationships across the country. Mr. Goro Adachi, CEO of ACE Trading, was for many years an executive of one of the world’s largest trading companies. ACE works closely with many of the largest Japanese trading companies. CDEX’s strategy to develop a comprehensive global distribution network is being realized and establishing a significant presence in Japan is an important step forward. This increasing network of marketing representatives enables CDEX to expand sales going forward. We will continue to identify, qualify and sign distributors in the North American market and in selected international markets where methamphetamine abuse is taking a toll on human societies.”
