Matcon Group Ltd.

Matcon is a market leading organisation specialising in the design and supply of materials handling solutions, using Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) technology for handling powders, granules and tablets across a range of manufacturing industries, including food, pharmaceutical, chemical and metal powders.

Matcon has a worldwide presence and diverse customer portfolio, encompassing both national and multi-national companies and has been helping its customers to achieve increased productivity and improved product quality, batch traceability and process efficiency for over 30 years.

Matcon IBC Systems are ideally suited to helping their customers achieve ‘lean manufacturing’ – a production method whose aim is to eliminate any use of materials or resources that does not add value for the customer.

Our modular approach to formulation, mixing and packaging of powders allows for parallel processing of consecutive batches without incurring excessive downtime between product changeovers, in order to optimise the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) of the value adding operations.

Significantly lower levels of inventory and work in progress, and improving cash flow and profitability are just a few of the many benefits for companies who apply this parallel processing approach in their manufacturing operation.
