Over the years, Matara has improved massively. They have done this in the following ways: 1. Hugely expanding their product offerings. Their linear motion portfolio offers products that, while expensive, are of an incredibly high quality and often extremely hard to find. They have a few products which I have never found anywhere else. This variety of products has allowed me to find truly ideal solutions to some engineering problems. 2. For many items they have brought down their lead times hugely. 3. Their staff have been very helpful in advising me and always do their best to offer custom solutions when they can. Because of these huge improvements in the way Matara operates I now use them whenever possible.
