CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - March 14, 2011) - ILI Technologies (TSX VENTURE:ILI) is pleased to announce that its 100 % wholly owned subsidiary Cdn Oilfield Technologies & Solutions S. de R.L de C.V. ("COTS") has received a purchase order from an established Mexican corporation with over 30 years experience working directly with Pemex (the nationally owned Mexican oil and gas company), representing $10.1 million pesos (approximately $800,000 Cdn) to supply Flexsteel flexible pipe products and associated connectors in Mexico. This is the first order received for the use of Flexsteel products and marks the first success in the company's efforts to diversify its revenues. 

Cots will be working closely with officials of Pemex, the Mexican corporation and authorized installers of Flexsteel to manage the relationships between the parties and closely monitor all phases of the project. Under the terms of the purchase order multiple gathering lines ranging from 1.1 to 3.1 km in length will be installed utilizing the manufacturer's high pressure pipe product for the new construction of discharge lines to transport hydro carbons from producing gas wells to the collection stations. Delivery is scheduled to commence at the beginning of April 2011 in accordance with the installation schedule authorized by Pemex. In addition, ILI will start to build an inventory base for the products in Mexico to meet anticipated future demands and give expedited service to our clients to avoid backlogs.

Phil D'Angelo states, "This is a significant milestone for the Corporation and changes the dynamics of the company. COTS has formed the basis for a long term relationship devoting a considerable amount of resources, assisting Pemex with all phases of the approval process, establishing new policies, procedures, testing requirements and pricing models in support of the Flexteel products to ensure longevity and product reliability. New product evaluation, endorsement and certification internationally are a timely process often taking 3 to 4 years to execute. Not only was this accomplished in record time, the company is now in a position to execute bringing added value to shareholders. We fully anticipate continued success and look forward to expanding our business in Mexico."
