Last year ended with SaltX entering into a partnership with one of the USA's leading manufacturers of heating and cooling products, Rheem, and production was started in China of solar panels that use our technology. 2016 was a fantastic year for SaltX, which was demonstrated in that we were this year's stock market winners - in all categories!

We are obviously very proud of the trust placed in us.

During the year our four applicationareasweredevelopedstrongly:
