C&T Matrix, (C&T), a global supplier of creasing matrix and associated die-making solutions, has announced the relocation of its manufacturing operations to a new facility in Poole, Dorset.
The move represents a major investment in C&T’s manufacturing capabilities and its plans for future expansion. The new site has been selected to support enhanced product development, improved operational efficiency, and upgraded customer-facing facilities.
The Poole facility will include a dedicated customer suite featuring an on-site machinery training centre, designed to strengthen collaboration with customers and partners while providing advanced training and technical support.
The relocation of the company’s rubber profiles production is scheduled to commence in February, with the full manufacturing transition expected to be completed by the end of May 2026.
Commenting on the move, Howard Mead, global sales director at C&T Matrix says: “This relocation is a positive and important step for C&T.
“The new facility gives us the space and capability to continue developing our products, invest in our people, and create a more engaging environment for customers and partners. It reflects our long-term commitment to growth, innovation, and customer support.”
C&T is an international manufacturer and supplier of specialist creasing matrix products and accessories for the print and packaging industries. With a head office in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, the company sells and distributes to over 80 countries worldwide, with warehousing and offices in the UK, Italy, Spain, China, and India.
While its manufacturing operations transition to Dorset, C&T’s sales and finance teams will continue to operate from the company’s current base in Northamptonshire, with the aim of ensuring continuity across commercial and customer support functions.
In a statement on the move, the company says: “By investing in modern facilities and enhanced customer engagement capabilities, C&T continues to reinforce its position as a forward-thinking, customer-focused partner to the global packaging, die making, folding carton, corrugated, and commercial print industries.”
