EnWave's 3rd Tier 1 Collaborator Enters into Market Evaluation Following Successful R&D Phase


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 16, 2012) - EnWave Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ENW)(FRANKFURT:E4U) ("EnWave" or "the Company") announced today that a 3rd Tier 1 collaborator ("the Collaborator") has successfully completed their initial Research & Development phase and will be conducting a comprehensive market evaluation over the coming months. The Collaborator plans to dry several thousand pounds of finished product over a number of process trials in the first half of 2013 using EnWave's patented Radiant Energy Vacuum ("REV") technology. EnWave has extended this Collaborator's exclusive option to license until June 30th, 2013 and will receive royalty revenue from the production of the Tier 1 test products.

"The momentum with our Tier 1 collaborators continues to build. After a very positive internal evaluation, a third collaborator will be testing nutraDRIED™ products amongst their target market," stated Dr. Tim Durance, Chairman and Co-CEO, EnWave Corporation. "Our REV dehydration technology is providing some of the largest food companies in the world with the opportunity to commercialize a diverse group of unique, innovative products."

Based on the multiple Tier 1 market evaluations currently underway and a number of other near term commercial opportunities, EnWave has instructed Hans Binder Maschinenbau GmbH, its recently acquired German machine builder, to complete design work on a 150 kW nutraREV™ platform to support an estimated three to five commercial plant orders expected to be confirmed by the first half of 2013.

About EnWave

EnWave Corporation is a Vancouver-based industrial technology company developing commercial applications for its proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV) dehydration technology. The company recently licensed REV technology to Milne Fruit Products Inc, its first major U.S. customer, to support a launch of healthy berry snacks and powders across most major markets in North America. More recently, EnWave licensed REV technology to one of its Tier 1 multinational partners from the list below. In addition, EnWave has entered a wide range of research and collaboration agreements with an expanding list of multinational partners, including Nestlé, Kellogg's, Grupo Bimbo, Grimmway Farms, Ocean Spray Cranberries, Hormel, Bonduelle, Cherry Central, Sun-Maid Growers and Merck. Three of these Tier 1 collaborators are currently conducting market evaluations for REV-dried products. 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.
