2014 was a momentous year or Matcon, as we continued to achieve sustainable growth in core strategic markets by providing our Customers with World-Class Lean Powder Handling Solutions.
In addition to record growth, we have made a number of personnel changes during this period. As well as my appointment to Managing Director in October, we have new Leadership in Sales, Operations and Marketing. All of these appointments were via internal promotions, which is testament to the success of our talent management programme and provides a continuity of our values & culture, whilst at the same time providing a fresh perspective.
We have also expanded our geographical organisation to bring the right levels of Sales and Service support closer to our Customers around the World. This included opening new Centres of Excellence in Chicago (USA) and Shanghai (China), both of which now house full-scale powder blending and testing facilities. As we enter 2015, we are also excited to announce Matcon’s presence in both India and Singapore as we support these growth regions with new operating hubs.
In this issue of Matconnected, we share some of our real-life case studies, illustrating how and why a Matcon IBC System, combined with our know-how, has made a real difference to Customers striving towards Lean Manufacturing. We also preview some of the technical advancements made in our Powder Packing solutions and IBC Blending technology.
Our success comes from the focus we put on our Customers’ needs. With the organisational changes we have implemented, we are in a stronger position than ever before to work in partnership with our existing Customers and develop new connections. Our ultimate aim is to help you achieve your goals in 2015.
Our team at Matcon are as enthusiastic and committed as ever and we all look forward to working with you on your many exciting projects.
Best Regards
Dave Cooper
