EnWave signs commercial REV™ license with Bowen Gumlu growers in Australia

EnWave Corporation CEO Brent Charleton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has signed a royalty-bearing commercial license agreement with the Bowen Gumlu Growers Association (BGGA), a leading fruit and vegetable industry body representing horticultural growers, producers, and associated agribusinesses in North Queensland, Australia. The Bowen–Gumlu region is Queensland’s largest producer of winter vegetable crops, generating approximately AUD $650 million in annual farm gate production and playing a critical role in Australia’s fresh produce supply chain. Key commodities produced in the region include tomatoes, capsicum, mangoes, cucurbits, beans, and corn. Charleton explained that BGGA plans to leverage EnWave’s proprietary Radiant Energy Vacuum (REV™) dehydration technology to develop and manufacture commercially attractive tropical fruit snacks and value-added food ingredients. REV™ technology enables faster, gentler dehydration compared to conventional drying methods, helping preserve flavor, color, and nutritional content—features that are particularly well suited to high-quality tropical fruits and vegetables. As part of the agreement, BGGA has acquired a 10-kilowatt REV™ machine from EnWave’s Australian third-party equipment reseller, Scitek. The system will be used to support commercial product development and early-stage manufacturing of REV™-dried products, allowing BGGA and its members to evaluate market opportunities and refine product offerings aimed at both domestic and export markets. Given the scale and diversity of BGGA’s membership, as well as the significant volumes of produce grown annually in the Bowen–Gumlu region, EnWave sees strong potential for additional REV™ equipment sales as BGGA advances its commercialization strategy. Charleton noted that this agreement not only validates the applicability of REV™ technology within Australia’s horticultural sector, but also positions EnWave to expand its footprint in one of the country’s most important fresh produce regions through future equipment deployments and ongoing royalty revenue. #proactiveinvestors #enwavecorporation #tsxv #enw #DehydrationTech #VacuumMicrowave #RoyaltyBusinessModel #FoodTech #AgriTech #Dehydration #ValueAddedFoods #Horticulture #AustralianAgriculture #TropicalFruits #FreshProduce #FoodInnovation #SustainableFood #AgriBusiness #NorthQueensland
