VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnWave Corporation (TSX-V: ENW | FSE: E4U) (“EnWave”, or the "Company") announced today that it has signed a Technology Evaluation and License Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with New Plymouth Food Inc., a part of Bounty Fresh Group, and a leading producer of protein products in Southeast Asia. Bounty will lease a 10kW Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) dehydration machine for placement at their main processing facility in the Philippines. The 10kW machine will be utilized for the development of meat, cheese, and other nutritious snacks for the Philippine market and beyond.
Bounty looks to capitalize on Southeast Asia’s growing snack sector by introducing healthier, better-for-you options as well as localized flavours and ingredients which are gaining more momentum over traditional deep fried and extruded snacks.
About Bounty Fresh Group
Bounty Fresh Group is a large-scale industrial agriculture company founded by the Cheng family in 1986. It began as a table egg producer and now the second-largest poultry integrator and the leading table eggs producer in the Philippines.
It is the only fully-integrated poultry company that has continuously invested in company-owned facilities: Grand Parent farm, Parent Stock farm, Hatcheries, Dressing Plants, Feed Mills, and Cool-cell Broiler Complexes in the Philippines.
Bounty’s poultry integration served as a platform to expand its operation in other industries such as pork products, manufacturing of other agricultural products like commercial feed and vitamins, and food take-away stores.
Rolling out over 1,800 takeout outlets nationwide under the brands Chooks to Go and Uling Roasters, Bounty’s storefront operation is one of the leading take-away stores in the Philippines.
