EXCLUSIVE: Matthews Aurora Funeral Solutions: Product Changes and Moving Some Production to Mexico

It looks like Matthews Aurora Funeral Solutions is going south of the border.

Late last week MA customers received a letter from company President, Thomas Pontone, announcing upcoming product changes and that the company would be moving all 20 Gauge non-gasketed steel production to a state-of-the-art facility in Monterrey, Mexico.

The letter stated that the upcoming changes being implemented are reflected of feedback from the companies existing customers.
