Materion Corporation Rings The NYSE Closing Bell
Emaginit created the name "Materion" for what was formerly Brush Wellman, marking one of the most significant corporate rebranding achievements in our 35+ year history.
The Name Change
Materion Corporation visited the New York Stock Exchange to celebrate the company's name change to the new Materion brand and stock symbol (NYSE-listed: MTRN). Richard J. Hipple, Chairman, President and CEO of Materion Corporation, rang The Closing Bell in a ceremony that highlighted the 81-year-old company's transformation.
From Legacy to Leadership
The new brand was designed to provide customers better access to, and knowledge of, the company's broad scope of products, technologies, and value-added services. The transformation repositioned the company from a primarily metals, mining, and specialty metals producer to a supplier of a diverse range of advanced materials.
Impact and Recognition
Materion's product portfolio includes precious and non-precious specialty metals, inorganic chemicals and powders, specialty coatings, specialty engineered beryllium alloys, beryllium and beryllium composites, and engineered clad and plated metal systems. Headquartered in Mayfield Heights, Ohio, the company supplies highly engineered advanced enabling materials to global markets.
As Patrick Carpenter, Vice President of Corporate Communication at Materion, noted: "Good to hear from you! Bet you thought we would never pull the trigger on your name, Materion. We will reveal our new logo on March 8th, hope you like it!"
