OUR HISTORY

Established in 1980, Matcon launched its unique Discharger Valves – game-changing technology to solve problems with the flow of difficult-to-handle materials in Storage Silos. Building on this success, Matcon applied the same idea to IBCs - creating our world-famous Cone Valve IBCs which revolutionised the capabilities of traditional systems. Matcon’s invention was able to eliminate problems with powder mix segregation and control difficult to handle powders.
In July 2012, Matcon was acquired by the IDEX Corporation.
