Matric Limited began in 1971 with a customer-oriented philosophy focused on providing quality products for radio hobbyists and technicians.

A short time later, a local manufacturer of heavy equipment provided the opportunity to apply radio controls to their machines. This relationship has continued until today and over the years Matric has initiated many innovations. Matric's support for this OEM provided opportunities to serve customers in Europe, Africa, and the Pacific Rim as well as in North America.

During 1985, Matric moved into the COTS market with a line of single board computers and peripherals. These products were the next step in the evolution of embedded controls. Using our COTS boards and backplanes, a wide variety of control systems could be quickly assembled.

Matric entered the Human Machine Interface market in 1993 with a line of industrial keyboards. These keyboards had a wide distribution and became Matric's first CE marked product.

One of the reasons for Matric's success is a sustained commitment to invest in the latest and best technology for producing electronic products. Early in the growth of surface mount technology (SMT), Matric invested in automated pick and place equipment, an infrared oven, and microscopes for assembling and inspecting SMT boards. The result is that now Matric has 17 years of experience with SMT technology. The efficiency of Matric's SMT equipment lead to the cultivation of our contract assembly customer base.

Early in the 1990s it was clear that Matric had made the most of its facility and needed room to grow. An exhaustive search revealed an ideal opportunity for expansion. By the summer of 1995, Matric had purchased property in Seneca, PA, refurbished an existing building for office space, and completed a new manufacturing addition. At the same time, several equipment upgrades were made, and Matric was poised to continue its history of growth.

Quality has always been the hallmark of Matric products and services. This was demonstrated tangibly when Matric achieved ISO 9001 registration in 1996. The processes and techniques that set Matric apart were formalized and Matric passed its first ISO 9001 audit with flying colors. On October 2, 2002, the Matric Quality Management System became certified to ISO 9001:2000. The system is registered with Bureau Veritas Certification.

Another demonstration of Matric's commitment to its customers has come in the form of expansion during 1998. To accommodate substantial new business from two major customers, Matric invested in 28,000 square feet of additional plant space. As usual, the expansion went smoothly and our customer was able to transfer their aftermarket support services to Matric without incident.

In December, 2005, Matric purchased Dynamic Manufacturing, located in Pittsburgh, PA. Dynamic is an Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) provider with a client base located in the Eastern U.S. The Matric team is very excited about the new working relationship with Dynamic and the opportunities it will provide.

Most recently, Matric added a 20,000 sq. ft. building addition to the existing structure to increase manufacturing space at the main plant location in Seneca, PA. New automatic pick and place machinery, additional state-of-the-art test equipment, a dedicated mechanical assembly department and need for increased warehouse space drove the need for the expansion. The Matric plant size is now 75,000 sq. ft.

Continuous investment and improvements to our assembly equipment, computer network, ERP software, and lab equipment keeps Matric at the forefront of electronic manufacturing service providers.

Matric is proud of its heritage and confident that we will continue to build on past accomplishments.
