Matodi

What Matodi does

Matodi is a U.S.-based value-added distributor and field service provider for flat glass fabrication equipment, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. The company represents eight European manufacturers — Barbaric, Battellino, Deltamax, TK, Engineered Material Handling, IMMMES, Neptun (flagship), and Sulak — distributing their glass edging machines, polishing machines, drilling systems, washing lines, tempering ovens, lifting equipment, and water treatment systems to mid-sized and large glass fabrication operations across the United States. Beyond equipment, Matodi stocks CNC tooling (diamond wheels, polishing wheels, milling tools), core drilling bits, spare parts, and consumables (including proprietary Power-Pol cerium oxide) in its Greensboro warehouse for same-week shipping, and provides on-site installation, operator training, remote diagnostics, and recertification services through field technicians with production floor experience.

The core technology Matodi brings to market is predominantly that of its European partners, including patented systems such as Neptun's Automatic Wheel Adjustment (AWA) for edgers (which can extend diamond wheel life up to 40%), the Kevlar conveyor pad design, and IMMMES's totally closed-loop DTP water treatment system. The Deltamax GlassInspector EVO provides automated defect detection and dimension measurement. Matodi's own contribution is the integration of these multi-vendor technologies into a single U.S. supply point, plus compatibility claims across non-partner equipment brands.

Commercially, Matodi operates an enterprise field sales motion supported by inside sales (phone and web quote requests), with a self-serve website catalog for research and a regional sales engineer covering Texas and the Gulf region. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of equipment, tooling, and consumables, plus professional service fees for field service and technical support. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract billing cadence, and the company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, indicating a bootstrapped, founder-led operation.

Core offering

Matodi distributes flat glass fabrication equipment, CNC tooling, and replacement parts on behalf of eight European manufacturers (Barbaric, Battellino, Deltamax, TK, EMH, IMMMES, Neptun, and Sulak) to glass fabrication shops across the United States. The company stocks inventory in its Greensboro, North Carolina warehouse and provides installation, operator training, field service, remote diagnostics, and ongoing technical support alongside equipment sales.

Product overview

Matodi is a glass fabrication equipment distributor and support company, not a product manufacturer. They operate as a U.S.-based partner representing eight European manufacturers, distributing and supporting glass fabrication equipment, CNC tooling, and replacement parts from their Greensboro, North Carolina warehouse. The product portfolio is organized into three main categories: Glass Machinery (edging machines from Neptun Rock, Battellino FP, and Sulak BTS series; drilling systems from Sulak VTS; washing machines from Neptun; tempering ovens from Mazzaroppi; water treatment from IMMMES; and material handling from Barbaric and EMH), CNC Tooling and Wheels (diamond wheels, polishing wheels, milling tools, and consumables), and Parts and Consumables (core drilling bits, spare parts, and cerium oxide). Matodi provides field service, technical support, installation, and training alongside equipment sales, positioning themselves as a partner that keeps machines running rather than just selling them.

Direct peers

• Bottero: Italian flat-glass processing machinery manufacturer (edging, cutting, laminating). Comparable because it sells comparable categories of flat-glass equipment to similar US customers, often through regional distributors.
• Hegla: German manufacturer of flat-glass cutting, sorting, and edging machinery with a US sales/service arm (Hegla-HANIC). Direct competitor offering a similar breadth of equipment to US glass fabricators through a specialized distribution channel.
• CMS Glass Machinery: Italian CNC glass machining center maker with North American distribution. Directly comparable as a European-built CNC/glass machinery specialist targeting US architectural-glass fabricators.
• Z. Bavelloni: Italian manufacturer of flat-glass edging, cutting, and washing machinery with US distribution. Direct competitor offering overlapping product categories sourced from Italy and sold to US fabricators.

Broad incumbents

• LiSEC: Austrian-headquartered broad-line supplier of flat-glass cutting, edging, tempering, and insulating-glass lines with global service. Larger, more vertically integrated alternative competing for the same architectural/fabrication customers.
• Intermac (Biesse Group): Italian glass and stone CNC machinery brand within Biesse Group with North American presence. Comparable in offering CNC machining centers to glass fabricators, though part of a much larger machinery conglomerate.
• Bystronic Glass: Swiss broad-line capital equipment group with a glass cutting/handling division. A much larger incumbent selling into many of the same US architectural glass fabricators.
• Glaston: Finnish publicly-listed glass processing machinery group covering tempering, laminating, and architectural glass equipment. A larger incumbent with overlapping equipment categories and global service footprint.
• Grenzebach Glass Equipment: German broad-line industrial machinery group with a glass/flat-glass equipment division serving architectural and solar glass producers. Larger incumbent addressing a wider set of flat-glass customers.

Regional players

• Salem Fabrication Supplies: US-based distributor of flat glass fabrication equipment, tools, and consumables. Closest US-only direct competitor with a similar model of importing/sourcing machinery and stocking tooling and parts domestically.
