EnWave Announces Successful Commercial Plant Start-Up and Scheduled Cheese Snack Launch by NutraDried LLP

JULY 24, 2013

EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company") announced today that NutraDried LLP (“NutraDried”), a joint partnership formed between the Company and Lucid Capital Management (“Lucid”), has begun commercial production on a Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) plant in Washington State for the manufacture of 100% all-natural dried cheese snack products.

Earlier this month, EnWave successfully installed a 20kW commercial-scale nutraREV® machine at NutraDried’s facility in Blaine, Washington to produce saleable product for a scheduled test-launch in September, 2013. The test-launch will take place throughout the Pacific Northwest in the United States of America via a number of carefully selected distribution channels. A 100kW commercial nutraREV®plant is expected to be installed at the same site in Q1 2014 by Hans Binder Maschinenbau GmbH (“Binder”), a German machine building subsidiary of EnWave, to increase the capacity of NutraDried’s operations. If the test-launch is successful, NutraDried will increase its distribution across the U.S. in select markets following the larger plant installation.

NutraDried will be marketing their healthy, crunchy, 100% natural cheese product line under their newly developed Moon Cheese® brand. Moon Cheese®, which is calcium-rich, high in protein and gluten-free, will initially be available in three flavors; American Cheddar, Pepper Jack and Gouda. The packaging, marketing and launch strategy for Moon Cheese® have all been completed by key employees that used to work for Brookside Foods Ltd. (“Brookside”), which was sold to Hershey Company in January 2012. The official Moon Cheese® website is set to be unveiled in conjunction with the test-launch in late September. Please visit the site, www.mooncheesesnacks.com, at that time.

NutraDried’s plant start-up and planned launch continues to build on the strong commercialization momentum that EnWave has built over the past year. The Company now has five market segments that should be commercial in the next 12 months, including dried cheese snacks, dried meat snacks, dehydrated food enzymes, dried fruit products and dried vegetable products. Furthermore, the interest in REV™-dried cheese has increased substantially since the announcement of NutraDried LLP.

“The initiation of NutraDried’s commercial production is the first step to building royalties in the dried cheese market segment,” stated Dr. Tim Durance, Chairman and Co-CEO of EnWave. “EnWave is very optimistic about the potential of the Moon Cheese® brand, especially when we have such experienced employees spearheading NutraDried’s efforts.”

“Moon Cheese is set to land in select retailers over the next year, providing consumers with a new, delicious, healthy snacking choice,” stated Mr. Rufino Dee, CFO at NutraDried LLP. “EnWave’s REV™ technology has enabled NutraDried to produce a number of very unique products that we believe could generate significant interest in the savory snacking market segment.”

About EnWave

EnWave Corporation is a Vancouver-based industrial technology company developing commercial applications for its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration technology. In June 2013, Hormel Foods Corporation signed a royalty-bearing commercial license to use REV™ technology for the production of a number of products. 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. Lastly, 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 Nestlé, Kellogg’s, Grupo Bimbo, Grimmway Farms, Ocean Spray Cranberries, 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 developingpowderREV™ 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.
