So you want to know what's changing?

Other than our new name and logo, we will still be the same amazing company we have always been for our wonderful customers.

When did Matex become Bishop Lifting?

We were acquired in 2017 by Bishop Lifting to expand our overall wire rope and rigging services across the US.

Why are we merging brands now?

As a group, Matex and Bishop Lifting are growing rapidly, so in order to be a unified team, we are now all under one banner, Bishop Lifting, to create value, company unity, and combine our strengths and capabilities across the country to better serve you, our customer. 

Who is Bishop Lifting?

Bishop Lifting, founded in 1984, is the most trusted name in the lifting world. Bishop Lifting has the deep expertise, services, and support to solve both routine and complex lifting challenges. They have the above and below-the-hook inventory customers need, when they need it. And they have a culture of service and support that puts customer satisfaction first.

How will you, the customer, be affected by this change?

Nothing will change in regards to staff, location, or support. We will still provide you with the same great services, just under the name Bishop Lifting. This means you will have more products, services, and expertise available!

What happens to your products and services?

All the products and services we have been providing you will still be available, with the expansion of even more products and services from our Bishop Lifting family. 

Lastly, what do you need to do?

Nothing at all. Business will continue as usual.
