"We recognized several years ago that nanotechnology is a fast-growing market that is a perfect fit with our experience and expertise," said Jeff Loomis, president and CEO of Loomis Group. "Adding NanoVance to our growing stable of nanotechnology clients affirms that vision, and we are excited that we have the opportunity to connect their innovative devices with people's lives."

"Part of our founding philosophy was that we will cut through the hype surrounding nanotechnology and get to the heart of the matter with real, practical nano-devices," said Ellery Buchanan, CEO of NanoVance. "In Loomis Group, we've found a marketing partner who will help us take that same straightforward approach in our marketing, communicating the value of our devices clearly and effectively to consumers in multiple industries."
