The company produces an impressive array of nearly 500 products. What sets Merco Marine apart is not just the breadth of their product line, but their commitment to being a West Virginia business. With a resounding #YesWV, Merco Marine embraces the state's prime location and proximity to larger cities, access to water and rail, and the dedication of the West Virginia Department of Economic Development in assisting with business transactions.

Soon thereafter, he became an artist in residence in Clarksburg, where he worked for two years. He began creating small commissioned pieces—then the Clarksburg Historical Society brought him his first large commission: a piece on immigrants for the courthouse plaza. Then he got a call requesting a bronze statue of St. Francis de Assisi for a hospital in Charleston.  Hopen's work can be found all throughout the Mountain State, including a stone carving on the Davis & Elkins College campus, a marble Mother's Day memorial in Grafton, a bronze Senator Robert C. Byrd statue in the West Virginia State Capitol, and a bronze Hawks Nest Tunnel Disaster memorial piece at Tamarack.
