Description: MATW Matthews International October 21, 2025
Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ: MATW) is a diversified provider of brand-related services, memorial-product offerings, and industrial-technology solutions, operating globally from its headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The business is organized into three segments: (1) Memorialization, which manufactures bronze and granite monuments, burial vaults, cremation urns, and related cemetery products; (2) Industrial Technologies, delivering custom energy-storage systems, warehouse-automation hardware, and high-precision printing and coating equipment; and (3) SGK Brand Solutions, offering brand-management, pre-press, digital asset, and merchandising services to consumer-goods and retail clients.
Recent data (Q2 2024) shows MATW generated $118 million in revenue, with the Industrial Technologies segment contributing roughly 45 % of sales and posting a 12 % year-over-year growth driven by rising demand for modular energy-storage in renewable-grid applications. The Memorialization market remains modestly recession-resilient, with U.S. cemetery-related spending projected to grow at 2.5 % CAGR through 2028, while the broader industrial automation sector is expanding at ~9 % CAGR, underpinning potential upside for MATW’s automation and printing equipment lines.
