COVID-19 News Updates
Updated Statement on COVID-19: April 14, 2021
While the vaccination effort is ramping up in Canada and in the province of Quebec, public authorities continue their efforts to help slow the community spread of COVID-19.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, Matrox has complied with all the measures imposed by public authorities, and beyond. During this period, Matrox has successfully deployed a robust remote work program while implementing all recommended public health and safety measures to ensure the health and wellness of our valued on-site employees. At all times, Matrox has remained open and fully operational with full-scale manufacturing and distribution in all of our worldwide facilities.
Matrox is committed to providing ongoing support and production to our customers and partners while keeping the health and well-being of everyone in our community a top priority.
Ways we are assisting our employees and customers
