History of Matrex

Matrex Mold and Tool, Inc. was founded in 1985. We grew over the next ten years to a size that required management systems and capital investment for continued growth. Patrick Odette and I purchased Matrex in 1995 and installed these systems with the help of our employees.  Each year we are adding additional services for our customers. 

Our automation includes additions of mass production management techniques, cnc machining centers, cnc/edm, wire and hole drilling edm, high speed machining,  company wide Windows NT network and in-house engineering including 3D programming and solids tool design.  We have added many secondary service operations including fixture building, solid model design support, prototype parts and tools plus sampling and short run capabilities.  Our goal is to give our customers "one stop shopping".  

 In 2005 we will continue with our lean manufacturing. We have a project to palletize our steel work pieces. Over the next few years our plan is to automate/automate/automate. We will continue to expand in the Space and Science arena. 2005 is shaping up to be a good year in our industry and we will do what we can to keep our customers competitive.

2006 we are running our palletized work pieces with great success. The addition of a larger sampling press has fit in quite well. We are just finishing 17 molds for one customer which is our largest single order to date. Preparation is starting  for a major upgrade of our shop and accounting software in 2007. Customers are really using our modular systems, prototype capabilities and initial run capacity to speed up their projects. We are now evaluating going down stream even farther and helping our customers through press configurations and processing.
