EnWave Signs Collaboration Agreement With Nuvi Fruits SA to Focus on Eight Fruit Product Areas
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/12/13 -- EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE: ENW)(FRANKFURT: E4U) ("EnWave", or the "Company") announced today it has signed a Collaboration Agreement with an option to license ("the Agreement") with Nuvi Fruits SA ("Nuvi Fruits"), a leading Portuguese consumer goods company that is part of the larger Nuvi Group, which has a strong focus on servicing clients in Europe, Latin America and Africa. Moreover, Nuvi Group has exported numerous product lines to its African clients for over ten years, specializing in this emerging market. Nuvi Group currently has strong operational infrastructure for fruit production in Portugal, Brasil and Costa Rica and distributes these products via another Nuvi Group company, Luis Vicente SA.
The Agreement grants Nuvi Fruits the opportunity to develop several nutraDRIED™ puree, powder and snack products from eight fruit categories, which include bananas, mangos, pineapples, strawberries, apples, peaches, pomegranate and pears using the Company's Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV™") technology. If the collaboration is successful, Nuvi Fruits has the option to exclusively license each product area for production in Portugal and Spain, and the ability to distribute those products via their extensive export infrastructure on a global basis. All other terms of the Agreement are confidential.
"Nuvi Fruits has significant interest in product categories that EnWave has extensive expertise in," stated Dr. Tim Durance, Chairman & Co-CEO of EnWave. "Our knowledge in their focused area should speed up the collaborative process and hopefully yield a commercial decision far sooner than if we had to begin initial product development."
"Nuvi Fruits is excited about the possibility of producing a number of high-quality nutraDRIED™ fruit products for the markets of Europe, Latin America and Africa," stated Mr. Joao Vicente, Nuvi Fruits' Project Manager. "We have been actively looking for the best way to achieve flexible and efficient dehydration - REV™ technology is by far the most compelling option."

About EnWave
EnWave Corporation is a Vancouver-based industrial technology company developing commercial applications for its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration technology. Recently, EnWave formed a Limited Liability Partnership with Lucid Capital Management to develop, manufacture, market and sell all-natural cheese snack products in the United States. Also, the Company has licensed REV™ technology to a leading North American enzyme company to begin dehydrating a series of food-related enzymes for their Tier 1 customers. Additionally, the company licensed REV™ technology to Milne Fruit Products Inc in 2011, its first major U.S. customer, to support a launch of healthy berry snacks and powders across most major markets in North America. EnWave has entered into a wide range of research and collaboration agreements with an expanding list of multinational companies, including Nestle, Kellogg's, Grupo Bimbo, Grimmway Farms, Ocean Spray Cranberries, Hormel, Bonduelle, Cherry Central, Sun-Maid Growers, Gay Lea Foods and Merck. EnWave is introducing REV™ as a new dehydration standard in the food and biological material sectors: potentially faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying.
EnWave currently has six REV™ platforms: commercial-scale nutraREV® and MIVAP® are used in the food industry to dry fruits, vegetables, meat, herbs and seafood quickly and at low-cost, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour. The Company is also developing powderREV™ for bulk dehydration of food cultures, probiotics and fine biochemicals such as enzymes; quantaREV™ for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying of pastes, gels, liquids, or particulates; and bioREV™ and freezeREV™ as new methods to stabilize and dehydrate biopharmaceuticals such as vaccines and antibodies.
