A business brief by colleague George Avalos:

mOasis has shifted its operations to Union City with a new lease to occupy 11,000 square feet in Dowe Business Park.

The company exited Mountain View in a deal arranged through commercial realty brokerage Colliers International.

mOasis produces mOasisgel, a nontoxic water storage material for California agriculture. mOasisgel increases crop yields and reduces water and water-related energy use to enable California farmers to grow more with less.

Founded at Stanford University, mOasis said it also outgrew its offices in Mountain View.
