The Matric timeline above lists the main milestones of building expansions and moves, certifications and registrations, and ownership. What is not highlighted is the continual improvement of the plant equipment that has kept Matric on the forefront of the technological curve. The equipment list at Matric is rather extensive and the latest investments include a laser etch machine, x-ray inspection equipment, 5-camera automatic inspection equipment, automatic selective solder machines and a solder paste inspection machine. Couple that with the four Automatic Surface Mount Technology lines, Semi-Automatic Pick and Place machines and a fully-staffed and highly-experienced engineering department and you have value-added services that give Matric a unique edge that sets us apart from other Electronic Manufacturing Service providers.
