This work is concerned with type theory for reductive groups over a non Archimedean field. Given such a field F, and a division algebra D of finite dimension over its center F, we obtain results concerning the construction of simple types for the group GL(m, D), $m\geqslant1$. More precisely, for each simple stratum of the matrix algebra M(m, D), we produce a set of β-extensions in the sense of Bushnell and Kutzko.
