Xeros Technology Group plc has signed a second Symphony Project development agreement with another leading manufacturer of commercial washing machines. The OEM is a leader in commercial laundry machines with a significant presence in many major markets across the world. Xeros will incorporate its open source technology in the OEM's machine for the purposes of technical validation and testing. Following the testing phase the parties anticipate the commencement of commercial negotiations. Symphony Project will enable manufacturers to sell their own-branded products as well as receiving a share in the long-term savings that the Xeros technology delivers. The development of Symphony Project is in line with Xeros' strategy to commercialise its technology with partners, who already have strong market positions. It will enable the Group to make a financial return on its intellectual property and know-how with relatively low capital intensity.
