What started in plastics has grown into a rapidly expanding network of over 900 companies — including industry leaders transacting hundreds of millions of pounds of material through the platform. In 2026, Matium is expanding beyond plastics into adjacent markets including paper, metals, and industrial packaging. Matium combines a private CRM/ERP, a verified trading network, a peer-to-peer marketplace with AI-powered matchmaking and auction capabilities, automated freight booking, and embedded transaction financing.
