Peter Blackburn, President of Mercia, stated, “ We have a strong relationship with Nova. Mercia previously entered into a partnership with Nova that gives Mercia full manufacturing capabilities for our products without having to build infrastructure.  Now we have entered a new phase of our relationship whereby Mercia has gained access to complementary technology that synergizes with our MERIT platform.”  As part of the transaction, Nova acquired an equity stake in Mercia.
