We consider matrix-product codes [C1 · · ·Cs] · A, where C1, . . . ,Cs are nested linear codes and matrix A has full rank. We compute their minimum distance and provide a decoding algorithm when A is a non-singular by columns matrix. The decoding algorithm decodes up to half of the minimum distance.
