Matthews Engineering (NASDAQ: MATW) and hs-tumbler announced a cooperation to develop trajectory mixing for scalable, solvent-free dry battery electrode (DBE) manufacturing.

Matthews International (NASDAQ: MATW) said an arbitrator entered an interim decision on Feb 13, 2026, reaffirming Matthews' right to develop, produce, market and sell its proprietary dry battery electrode (DBE) solutions to third parties.
