Artaflex Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ATF) ("Artaflex"), a specialist at delivering
integrated product solutions and support to the global technology and
electronics industry, announced today the hiring of Frank Skerlj as its new
Chief Financial Officer and that it closed a refinancing of its asset-based
credit facility with Royal Bank of Canada ('RBC").


Paul Walker, Chief Executive Officer of Artaflex comments "We are extremely
pleased to have someone with Frank's experience and depth of knowledge in the
EMS industry heading up our finance team. Frank, myself and Phil Woodard, our
Chief Operating Officer, have all worked together in the past building our
previous company SMTC, and it is this cohesiveness that made this hiring very
attractive to us. Frank's background overseeing a multi-site, international
organization throughout Canada, the U.S. and Mexico will be beneficial as we
move Artaflex through its next phase of growth." Mr. Skerlj replaces Jonathan
Szczur as Chief Financial Officer of Artaflex and Artaflex's predecessor
Adeptron Technologies Corporation ("Adeptron"). Mr. Skerlj's appointment is
subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.


Artaflex also announced today that it has closed, effective May 24, 2012, a
refinancing of a $10 million asset-based credit facility with RBC (which
represents a consolidation of, and increase to, separate asset-based credit
facilities that Artaflex and Adeptron each previously had with RBC). The
asset-based credit facility matures on March 20, 2014.


Loans under the asset-based credit facility are available by way of Canadian
Dollar loans and U.S. Dollar loans which bear interest at RBC's prime rate or
U.S. base prime rate, respectively, plus 175 bps. Letters of credit are also
available under the asset-based credit facility.


"We very pleased with the terms of the refinanced asset-based credit facility
and are pleased to continue our relationship with RBC and look forward to
working with RBC in the future. The asset-based credit facility will positively
support operations and the future growth of our business", commented Frank
Skerlj, the new Chief Financial Officer.
