"When you choose Matthews International Architectural Products, you're letting people know that you're committed to quality. The Matthews International quality can be found especially in our cast bronze plaques which are made with a superior alloy that is truly cast in sand, not mass produced in sheets and routed. This extreme attention to quality results in thicker, harder plaques that deliver greater durability."--https://www.matthewsid.com/about, 2021
