Matthews International Prevails in Federal Court Ruling Affirming Arbitration Award Against Tesla

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.

This decision reinforces Matthews’ longstanding leadership in the design, development, and manufacturing of continuous process machinery for battery electrode production, including its proprietary dry battery electrode (“DBE”) solutions. For more than two decades, Matthews has delivered advanced rotary manufacturing technologies that streamline production of energy storage devices, helping to reduce cost and increase performance.

Our precision engineering expertise and proprietary DBE technology will help customers worldwide reduce costs and improve performance for next-generation batteries.”
