MATRIC Releases New Brochure

A new brochure is being published to describe MATRIC's organization, values and mission. Quoting from the brochure, "Creating OPPORTUNITY is a specialty of MATRIC. Whether it lies in taking advantage of an extant talent pool, as MATRIC has done at its South Charleston, WV headquarters, or in helping a customer reformulate one of its products and increasing that product's sales ten-fold, the MATRIC family of companies seeks to turn lemons into lemonade. This can-do attitude embodies MATRIC's corporate culture."
