Company Potluck – 4/27/2015
Matraex has moved
Matraex has moved
Matraex has outgrown our space at 1101 W Grove St in Boise. The space was great and everyone LOVES being downtown, but we were to big for the tight space.
We will be hiring 2 to 3 people in 2015, starting with a new Developer on January 5th, and so we decided to treat ourselves to a little holiday treat and find a larger space.
So we found an office with more than twice the space (at the historic Alaska Building about a block closer into downtown Boise and moved in on Monday the 15th of Decmber.
With a giant bank of windows looking out at Bogus Basin, we have been very happy with the amount of space and light.
Over the coming weeks we will be adding our unique blend of geeky design to the office space.
The new address is, all those that would like to use the mail to send us anything, please send it to the address below:
1020 W Main St
Suite 250

8Th Annual Matraex River Trip (Survivors)
8Th Annual Matraex River Trip (Survivors)
We completed the 8th1 Annual Matraex Trip and everyone returned safe and sound. We all got wet to varying degrees, everyone got tossed around, one tossed half out (but wholly rescued). Other than one knee-bruised rib and a single rib-bruised knee, we ended the day with smiles all around. Here are some highlights of the trip this year:
1 – The 8th annual Matraex river trip is only one year after the second 6th2 annual Matraex river trip.
2 – Basically this was the 8th because the 6th3 happened twice, and there never was a 7th.
3 – It was actually the 5th that happened twice, and there never was a 6th, the 7th trip actually happened.
Employee Appreciation Night – Wahooz
Employee Appreciation Night – Wahooz
The tema at Matraex went to Wahooz on Tuesday February 4th for some pizza, laser tag, go carts and video games.
We ended up with a group of 15 with family and all.
I was lots of fun and we will probably end up doing it again!
Employee Appreciation Night – Idaho Steelheads Hockey
Employee Appreciation Night – Idaho Steelheads Hockey
The crew at Matraex headed down to the Century Link Arena to watch the Idaho Steelheads play against the Colorado SomethingSomethings. Â The group of 13 (including some family that came along) sat just behind the east goal and caught some great action.
Unfortunately The Steelheads lost, but the everyone enjoyed the show!
Family Bowling Night
Family Bowling Night
At 6:00 Wednesday October 3rd Matraex employees with their families had a bowling night at Big Al’s. It was great to get together with coworkers, spouses and the kids and spend some time having fun and getting to know the families. John was the experienced bowler of our bunch scoring an impressive 199. We are learning that John is a man of many talents.

River Raft Trip
River Raft Trip
Matraex held their 2nd 5th Annual Matraex River Rafting trip on Saturday July 21st. Nick, Michael, Vlade, Taner, Janae and John headed to the Lower South Fork of the Payette this year for some fun in the sun. Aside of a 2 hour delay from a boat stuck on a rock and John, Vlade and Michael nearly drowning in the last rapid, not much else happened here.
Like each of the other annual River Rafting trips, we finished up the evening with a dinner at the Sonora Mexican Restaurant in Horseshoe Bend
