Innovative B.C. Technology Promises to Revolutionize Food Processing
Industry
VANCOUVER, March 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - EnWave Corporation (TSX-V: ENW) ("EnWave" or "the Company") today announced that it has completed the first sale of its continuous nutraREV(TM) food dehydration equipment to CAL-SAN Enterprises, Ltd. of Richmond, B.C. ("CAL-SAN"), one of B.C.'s largest blueberry producers. With this sale, EnWave has proven that it can produce shelf-stable, "puffed" blueberries on a commercial scale over a full operating shift. CAL-SAN has now completed the purchase of this technology, and has entered into a licencing and royalty agreement with EnWave.
The terms of this agreement include a license providing EnWave with a royalty of up to ten per cent of CAL-SAN's gross revenues from the sale of dried food products processed using the nutraREV(TM) technology. EnWave expects that future sales of this equipment will range in price between USD$800,000 and USD$1M. The agreement also provides a number of exclusivity provisions for CAL-SAN in the North American dried blueberry market. The sale of this nutraREV(TM) technology provides EnWave with its first commercial revenues and royalty stream, and the Company now plans to develop its food technology division further in order to build on this market opportunity.
