EnWave Signs Equipment Lease Agreement with Bonduelle
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 11, 2014) -
EnWave Corporation (TSX-VENTURE:ENW)(FRANKFURT:E4U) ("EnWave", or
the "Company") is pleased to announce today that following the
signing of a global exclusive royalty-bearing license on November
19th, 2013, the Company has signed an Equipment Lease Agreement
(the "Agreement") with a division of Bonduelle ("Bonduelle"), the
world's leading processed vegetable producer. Under the Agreement,
EnWave will build a 120kW MIVAP® machine (the "Machinery"), via
their subsidiary Hans Binder Maschinenbau GmbH ("Binder"), for
Bonduelle to use for their North American operations.
The Machinery is scheduled to be delivered to Bonduelle in late
2014, where it will be used to create and develop dehydrofrozen
("DHF") vegetables as part of their business development
efforts.
DHF vegetables are partially dehydrated and then quickly frozen.
The purpose of this process is to retain nutritional content,
color, flavor and most importantly texture when cooked from the
frozen state.
From a global perspective, Bonduelle plans to explore many
unique opportunities for DHF frozen products with better quality
ingredients for frozen consumer products. Bonduelle is convinced
that the attributes of the "EnWave Frozen vegetables" respond to
specific customers' needs that actual fresh or frozen vegetables do
not satisfy adequately.
In anticipation of a successful research and development
program, the two companies will concurrently collaborate on the
design of a commercial-scale quantaREV® machine for DHF
vegetable production with target finished frozen product capacity
of between 3 and 4 tonnes per hour. The quantaREV® machine
design is expected to be completed in 2015 providing Bonduelle with
the opportunity to launch DHF products on a commercial scale.
"We are excited to be working together with a market leader like
Bonduelle to support the development of the first commercial scale
quantaREV® platform for this exciting new product
category," stated Dr. Tim Durance, Chairman and Co-CEO of EnWave.
"If the research of quantaREV® technology can create
success in this product area it can open up many new market
opportunities for EnWave where high capacity low temperature drying
options do not currently exist."
About Bonduelle
Bonduelle has a clear goal: to be a nutrition partner for
consumers. It does all it can to encourage people to eat vegetables
by offering a very wide product range which is extensively
available in over 100 countries worldwide. Today the company has
over 80 types of vegetable and has been present since 1998 in four
segments: canned, frozen, fresh and delicatessen salads. Bonduelle
is above all a 'corporate' brand and a family brand. The brand name
is both the name of the company and the name of the founding
family, whose activities began back in the middle of the 19th
Century. Giving the family's name to the product ensures that
consumers immediately identify the product and recognize the name,
Bonduelle. Its Chief Executive Officer, Christophe Bonduelle,
represents the 6th generation of this family business. For more

About EnWave
EnWave Corporation is a Vancouver-based industrial technology
company developing commercial applications for its proprietary
Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration technology. EnWave aims to
sign royalty-bearing commercial licenses with leading food and
pharmaceutical companies for the use of its revolutionary
technology. Thus far the Company has signed commercial licenses
with Bonduelle, a global leader in the production of vegetables,
for the processing of dehydrofrozen vegetables; Hormel Foods
Corporation, a major processed meat manufacturer, for the
production of healthy dried meat products; Milne Fruit Product,
EnWave's first major licensee, for the production of several
dehydrated fruit and vegetable products in the whole, fragmented

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. More information about EnWave is available at
