PITTSBURGH, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ GSM: MATW) (“Matthews” or the “Company”) announced today that the United States District Court for the Northern District of California has issued an opinion and order confirming a previous arbitration decision in Matthews’ favor and denied Tesla’s attempt to overturn it.
