March 2017 Lunch Meeting

From Grave Markers to Cereal Boxes: The Remarkable Reinvention of Matthews International

Founded in 1850, Matthews International is one of the oldest continually operating companies in Pittsburgh and a fascinating case study in diversification, acquisitions and global growth.

Please join ACG & NACD members and friends for a special joint luncheon to hear how Northside-based Matthews grew from a global provider of products for cemeteries and funeral homes to a leader in consumer products branding and packaging and industrial automation systems.

Matthews' President & CEO Joseph Bartolacci will share the company's remarkable history, its biggest governance challenges and why the 167-year-old, 1.5 billion company will continue to reinvent itself for years to come.
