Norman, OK | Posted on August 11th, 2014

Approximately $1.7 million was received as part of a $4 million round of convertible notes. An additional $1 million was received from a venture debt transaction.

The funds will be used to expand production capacity at its Norman, Oklahoma plant and to fill approximately eight available positions for scientists, engineers and technical support personnel.
