Matcon to Open New Global Headquarters

Matcon, a market leader in design and supply of lean solutions for powder processing, will move to new premises early in 2011, reflecting the company’s unprecedented success in recent years.

The company is currently located in Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire, UK with a separate assembly factory about 15 minutes away outside the village of Blockley. The new premises will be in the Vale Park West Industrial Estate, Evesham, Worcestershire, only 20 minutes from the current locations. Matcon has just acquired a recently constructed 2800-sq-m building and is currently carrying out substantial alterations to create a tailor-made facility, which will bring all of the company operations together under one roof – offices, conference suite, test plant, system assembly space, and ample parking for customers and staff.

Matcon will retain its existing staff following the move and is expected to expand its operations in the coming months to keep pace with ongoing success in the market place.

“This move is a very positive milestone in Matcon’s 30 year history,” said managing director Charles Lee. “Bringing all our UK operations under one roof will undoubtedly enhance our operational efficiency while at the same time provide our customers and our own team with greatly improved working, system test, and demonstration facilities. Relocation to the Evesham area creates minimal disruption to our existing operations and offers an excellent pool of technical talent, with good road and rail links.”

This project is supported by a Grant for Business Investment from Advantage West Midlands, financed by the European Regional Development Fund.
