Welcome to Matcon: Crafting Opportunities, Building Excellence

Discover the Fusion of Tradition and Innovation

Matcon has been an emblem of precision and problem-solving since 1980. Our journey began with the creation of the Matcon Discharger Valves, a beacon of our capability to navigate complex challenges in flow dynamics within Storage Silos. Crafting products like the Intermediate Bulk Containers and the renowned Cone Valve, we didn't just aim to fix problems; we aspired to set the standard for reliability and efficiency.

Nestled in the heart of Evesham's Vale Park West – the hub of our operation – walk through our various offices and meeting rooms, experience the technology-filled test plant, and witness the engineering excellence humming on the workshop floor.

Matcon stands at the frontier of invention with the might of IDEX Corporation at our back, propelling us to make waves in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical sectors.
