Global beverage company has joined DOLCE

Zwingenberg, 12 July, 2017: The bioeconomy company BRAIN AG (ISIN DE0005203947 / WKN 520394) announces that a globally operating US-based beverage company entered the strategic DOLCE program as a new member. The respective membership agreement was signed.

The globally operating US-based beverage company will have an exclusive worldwide access in the field "non-alcoholic beverages" as well as a non-exclusive worldwide access in the fields "dairy drinks" and "ginger ales and tonics". The interest of the new CPGC member is to integrate innovative and all natural DOLCE sweet solutions into their end products to address the need for sugar reduction in the global beverage market. The new CPGC member provides several payment streams such as upfront, milestone, success and licence payments. Further details of the partnership are not disclosed.

The DOLCE program was started in August 2016 by the partners BRAIN, AnalytiCon Discovery and Roquette to offer consumer product goods companies ("CPGCs") a platform providing expert know-how to develop and produce natural sweetening solutions. Such CPGCs have the opportunity to become DOLCE members in defined food and beverage fields. The advantage for those members is that they will be informed about developments at an early stage, are allowed to work pre-approval with the development candidates and can acquire licenses for selected natural sweet solutions.
