EnWave Signs License Agreement Amendment with Patatas Fritas Torres S.L. of Spain, to Expand Product Portfolio and Minimum Royalty Requirement
EnWave Corporation (TSX-V:ENW | FSE:E4U) (“EnWave”, or the “Company”) announced today that it has signed an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the royalty-bearing license agreement (the “License Agreement”) entered into with Patatas Fritas Torres S.L. (“PFT”) of Spain. The Amendment expands the product portfolio for PFT, who is focused on commercializing healthy, protein-rich snack products. PFT will leverage its existing distribution network to quickly broaden its product offerings in the global, fast-growing, nutritious, shelf-stable snack space. Under the terms of the Amendment, PFT will pay EnWave additional minimum annual royalties in exchange for the expanded product definition.
PFT currently manufacturers cheese snacks using 10kW and 100kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) machinery procured from EnWave. This product portfolio expansion should lead to increased manufacturing utilization and open the potential for additional REV™ machinery purchases in the future.
