## About

Founded in 2019 and based in St.Gallen, Switzerland, Matriq AG, a spin-off from the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences OST, operates as a developer of the watermark for plastics solutions that focuses on the industrialization of DynamicMold. The firm was co-founded by André Bernard (CEO), Cornelia Nef (Head of Operations), Klaus Dietrich (CTO), and Mathias Mächler. In January 2024, Matriq AG raised CHF 1 million in seed funding.

Matriq AG has developed and patented DynamicMold®, a groundbreaking technology that integrates marking directly into the injection molding process. This efficient, counterfeit-proof solution eliminates the need for additional processes like laser or inkjet marking. Utilizing a microfabricated insert within the mold cavity, DynamicMold® applies unique codes and data during molding, reducing production time and eliminating extra steps. The system features three key products: DM-date for digital timestamps, DM-qode for serialization, and DM-brand for brand protection.

The company plans to utilize the January 2024 funding to further advance its product, DynamicMold technology.
