Matrox is excited to announce that Mr. Lorne Trottier, co-founder of Matrox, has acquired 100% ownership of the Matrox group of companies, including its three divisions—Matrox Imaging, Matrox Graphics, and Matrox Video.

"This next phase represents a renewed commitment to our valued customers, suppliers, and business partners, as well as to our 700 dedicated employees worldwide," said Trottier. "At Matrox, our culture is defined by our passion for technological innovation and product development. We maintain the highest degree of corporate responsibility vis-a-vis production quality and industry standards. I am extremely proud of our accomplishments over our 40-plus-year history and would like to thank my co-founder for his contributions."
 
Personally I don't see Matrox going anywhere unless they can come up with some type of discrete graphics cards.

    I think Matrox has been an AIB for Radeon the last decade. Matrox was more meaningful when multi-display didn't have AMD Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround for commercial video walls. What are they planning in 2020 that makes them more relevant? Changing ownership does not mean relevance.

    It will be interesting if the new owner takes the company into a new direction or if it's to gut the company and sell everything of value they have.

    This is great news hopefully for the best.  I still have the Matrox multi monitor adapter in case it becomes a pricey souvenir to have.
    or
    I can go loco one time and have a wall full of monitors plugged in at the same time

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.
