COVID-19 News Updates

As of April 15, here is a non-exhaustive list of measures Matrox has implemented to protect and support our employees and customers.

Employee support

• Safeguarding the working environments of Matrox headquarters (Quebec) and our offices across the globe

• Suspending all travel, as well as on-site visits, to our worldwide offices and facilities

• Withdrawing from in-presence international tradeshows, conferences, and events

• Enabling fully functional remote and staggered work programs for all our employees. Other than production and some operations employees, only the limited employees whose presence is essential for the pursuit of our activities work from our over 300 000 sq. ft. headquarter facilities. 

• Holding meetings and recruitment interviews by audio or video conferencing

• Limiting access to conference rooms

• Ensuring mandatory surgical mask use in our headquarters

• Deploying thermal camera scanning at all entrances of our headquarters’ buildings

• Quarantining of affected employees and deep cleaning of exposed area to eliminate potential contamination

• Expanding safety measures for production teams—i.e habitually outfitted with safety garments, visors, and masks—to include increased sanitation of protective equipment

• Increasing cleaning efforts to high-frequency and common areas at all office locations, including the production floor

• Closing all on-site recreation facilities

• Installing hand-sanitizing stations at all office and facility entry/exit points

• Enforcing social distancing everywhere through the use of interior and exterior signage, floor markers, spacing tables and desks and installation of physical barricades as required

• Enhancing air filtering and flow

• Communicating regularly with employees about safety precautions, what to do in case of symptoms, as well as mental health issues

• Encouraging employees to download the Canadian COVID Alert application

• Participating in community detection and vaccination efforts. Matrox has developed a number of HR policies in this regard, while also offering paid hours to allow employees to get vaccinated. Matrox believes that mass vaccination is key to eradicate the pandemic.

Matrox safety measures have been monitored by the Quebec Labor Health and Safety Board

• Supporting full-scale manufacturing with production facilities across two continents and full-scale distribution through our global operations. Matrox production and delivery cycles have continued uninterrupted during these difficult times

• Offering committed and ongoing customer support and service

• Sending up-to-the-minute press releases and email communications about supplemental support, provisional licensing, and remote trainings available

• Increasing frequency of LinkedIn postings to ensure effective communication of initiatives and support
