OUR HISTORY

The original Cone Valve company

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. Continuing to build on our strong heritage of supplying future-proof, flexible manufacturing system around the world, we are now proud to be a successful part of IDEX’s Material Processing Technologies division alongside world-leading brands from Quadro Engineering, Fitzpatrick and Microfluidics.

IDEX (NYSE: IEX) is a company that has undoubtedly touched your life in some way. In fact, we make thousands of products that are mission-critical components in everyday activities. Founded in 1988 with three small, entrepreneurial manufacturing companies, we’re proud to say that we now call 40 diverse businesses around the world part of the IDEX family. With 7,000 employees and manufacturing operations in more than 20 countries, IDEX is a high-performing, global $2+ billion company committed to making trusted solutions that improve lives.
