Matthews Engineering (NASDAQ: MATW) and hs-tumbler announced a cooperation to develop trajectory mixing for scalable, solvent-free dry battery electrode (DBE) manufacturing.
The collaboration targets more homogeneous powder mixing, higher calender throughput, reduced contamination and improved safety, aiming to support elevated line speeds and consistent upstream powder preparation for DBE lines.
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. The arbitrator denied Tesla's request for broad injunctive relief and rejected attempts to bar sales of Matthews' DBE technology and equipment. The decision includes a narrow injunction restricting use of certain parts in DBE machines, but Matthews says it already has replacement parts and does not expect material operational or sales impact. The company cited multiple foundational patents (including US12136727, US12237494, US12334534, US12418017) and said the ruling provides clarity for customers going forward.
