After an outstanding professional career, Yago Torrent, Phd Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Barcelona, retires, bringing to a close over 50 years of career achievements. Torrent began in the banking sector, transitioned into truck engineering, and specialised in managing multinational companies. In 2012, he joined the SOME group, also taking on the General Management of Matrix, leading the company for over 12 years. In December 2024, he concluded his professional journey, leaving behind a strong team and a successor focused on maintaining competitiveness.
Ramon Mena, owner of the SOME group, takes over. A graduate in Business Administration and Management (ADE) and trained at IESE, he has been part of the group since 2009. Now, as the new General Manager, he takes the helm of Matrix with the aim of consolidating industrial leadership and exploring new growth opportunities.
This transition symbolises the continuity of the prosperity achieved under Yago Torrent’s leadership. Ramon Mena steps into the role, strengthened by his family ties to the company and the experience gained alongside Torrent, while maintaining a solid management team.
We are delighted to announce that Matrix Injection Moulds will participate for the first time as exhibitors at Plastimagen, the most important meeting point for the plastics industry in Latin America. The 25th edition of the fair will take place from 11 to 14 March 2025 at the Citibanamex exhibition centre in Mexico City.
With over 28,000 professional visitors in its last edition in 2023, Plastimagen offers a unique opportunity to connect with industry leaders from North America and the major economies of the southern continent. In a space of 40,000 m² featuring more than 870 exhibitors, this platform is ideal for building business relationships and exploring new opportunities.
Visit us at our stand 3525 in Hall A, where we will showcase our commitment to precision and innovation in injection moulds for the medical, pharmaceutical, and beauty sectors.
We look forward to seeing you at Plastimagen 2025!
The Girona Provincial Council presents the travelling exhibition “Where Are We Headed?”, a display aimed at raising awareness and fostering active participation in a more sustainable energy model based on renewable energies. This initiative not only reflects on the challenges of climate change but also highlights pioneering experiences already paving the way for a responsible energy transition.
Matrix is one of the highlighted examples in the exhibition, thanks to our photovoltaic park. This installation combines solar energy generation with agricultural uses, a model that not only reduces environmental impact but also optimises land use. This project reaffirms our commitment to sustainability.
The exhibition provides a comprehensive view of how companies, institutions, and citizens can collaborate to move towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
The exhibition “Where Are We Headed?” is currently open in Torroella de Montgrí and will travel to Ripollès in the coming months.
At Matrix Injection Moulds, we encourage everyone to visit this exhibition and learn about the initiatives shaping a better future for our planet.
At Matrix, we have taken another step forward in our pursuit of perfection in high-performance injection mould manufacturing with the addition of a Rosa Ermando grinding machine. The STEEL 13.7 N model allows us to achieve micron-level flatness, improving the precision and quality of our moulds.
Thanks to this new technology, we can ensure that our products continue to meet the highest quality standards in the European market.
Read the full case study on Rosa Ermando's website.
These days, at the Municipal Library of Ripoll, visitors can see photographs showing the transformation of the building, which was once the headquarters of Matrix, the Ripoll-based company dedicated to manufacturing injection moulds and dies. Until 2003, this building, located on Carrer de les Vinyes, was the first headquarters of Matrix before it moved to Barricona. The library was inaugurated in 2009, converting the former factory into the cultural space we know today.
The exhibition allows visitors to identify the current spaces of the library and discover what used to be in each corner. Through historical images, you can see how the reading room, the children's area, or the event hall were once industrial areas. This exhibition is a unique opportunity to connect with Ripoll's industrial past and see how an iconic space has evolved over the years.
In 2024, Matrix celebrates its 50th anniversary, and we will mark the occasion by participating for the fifth time in the Fakuma trade show. Fakuma is one of the leading global events for plastics processing, bringing together over 1,600 exhibitors from around the world and attracting more than 39,000 professional visitors. The fair, held from 15-19 October in Friedrichshafen, Germany, is the perfect opportunity to discover the latest innovations in the sector.
Matrix will be exhibiting in Hall 1, alongside leading companies in the industry, showcasing our high-precision injection moulding solutions.

See you at Fakuma 2024!
This summer at Matrix is proving exceptionally enriching, with the presence of up to six apprentices carrying out their internships within our company. Since our inception in 1974, education and the job market have been closely linked through our foundational values.
The students with us this year come from four different centres, enriching our work environment with their diverse educational backgrounds and viewpoints. This variety not only brings vital freshness to our company but is also crucial for integrating new talent into the industrial world.
Among our current apprentices, we have three dual students from l'Escola de Treball del Ripollès-Fundació Eduard Soler, with which Matrix has a historic relationship. This year, Mercè Poquet continues her training with us, along with the newly joined Arnau Roura and Lluís Morales. From the Institut Abat Oliba in Ripoll, Arnau Raigon has joined us after completing a CFGM in Electromechanical Maintenance and is considering advancing to a higher degree.
Furthermore, thanks to our collaboration agreement with the French sectoral institution Polyvia, we have had the pleasure of hosting Mathis Landrien this summer, a student from IMT Nord Europe-University of Lille in Normandy, who is finalising his Engineering degree in Plastics and Composite Materials.
Jordi Birosta, the latest to join our apprentice series at Matrix, is a promising talent from UCC Uvic, where he is completing his training as an electromechanical engineer. This summer, Jordi has transitioned from academic life to practical experience, fully integrating into our technical office.
We wish all our students a fruitful stay at Matrix. May they leverage the experience of our veterans and dare to contribute their freshness and knowledge, thus enriching both their personal development and our company.
On Saturday 15th, the company from Ripoll celebrated half a century of life by bringing together three different generations. Among the guests, the oldest former employee is 90 years old and the youngest current apprentice is 18.
Matrix, which over the years has become a European benchmark in the manufacture of injection moulds and dies, was founded in 1974 in Carrer Vinyes in Ripoll by Eduard Soler and Josep Palau from Ripoll. Today, Matrix is an independent company.
The families had the opportunity to visit the factory and discover the most advanced technology of plastic injection moulds, a part of the industry that is often unknown but of great added value.
The event was an occasion to celebrate the past, present and future of the company, and concluded with an emotional audiovisual presentation, musical performances and entertainment for children and adults.
Matrix, with its Tool and Die Division, will be present at BIEMH 2024, the leading trade fair in the machine tool and advanced manufacturing industry. We invite you to our stand C39 in Hall 5, where you can learn about our solutions and talk to our experts. Don't miss this opportunity to discover how we can help you optimize your production processes and improve the quality of your products.
