Client feedback

“Matrox PE has had an excellent effect on our feed rates, increasing plant efficiency. The ease of handling also cannot be ignored. Steel is difficult to move, form and install – Matrox is light enough to carry and easy to cut and bolt into place, making liner replacement a much simpler and safer task.”
