Record Industry


In June 1998 Record Industry took over operation of the plant. Since then, a lot of effort, energy and knowledge has been invested in maintenance and development of the machinery, combining new techniques with the existing ones.

Equipment

With 33 presses, Record Industry is one of the largest vinyl pressing plant in the world. Production capacity is 40.000 to 50.000 records per day. Record Industry uses Taunus Ton Technik presses for all of 12" & 10" vinyl which have been modified for optimal performance.
They built and installed two brand new 7" presses based on the original framework and upgraded it with a new switch box programmed with up to date software. A third 7" press will undergo the same makeover which means records will be pressed on the worlds most advanced 7" pressing equipment.

About

The pressing plant was founded by Dirk Slinger who was an oil trader. His sons Casper Dirk and Wim were responsible for running the plant under the name Artone, manufacturing only 7" records. The factory did not have a cutting studio and galvanic department yet. Lacquers were cut in Germany by mister Kliewer and metalparts were made by Vox-Imago also based in Germany. Because there was not enough room inside the pressing plant, a few years later Artone started their own galvanics in the Kruistraat, in the centre of Haarlem.

In 1966 CBS bought a 50% share in Artone, and they started a printing company that year to make their own sleeves too. The first sleeve they printed made was for a Nancy Sinatra record, "Like I do". In 1962 they added 12" vinyl pressing and in 1969 CBS (Colombia) took over full ownership.

In the seventies demand for vinyl was growing rapidly and CBS pressed more than 50 million records every year. Of Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" over 35 million copies were pressed in Haarlem in the eighties. The plants main focus was pressing the CBS catalog that was then merged with Sony Music. The plant was their most important vinyl production facility for Europe.

In June 1998 Record Industry took over operation of the plant. Since then, a lot of effort, energy and knowledge has been invested in maintenance and development of the machinery, combining new techniques with the existing ones.

Greetings, im writing from Oslo.

Im looking for a plant to press 250 ex(eventually 300) black 12" LPs.
Color normal outer sleeve cover(non gatefold),printed innersleeve and own designed LP labels.


And, is it possible to print on the white polylined (plastic inside) inner sleeve, instead of a normal paper-only based inner sleeve?
Would this cost more?

140G LPs works good. But let me know the price difference on 180g as well.

And what is the production/delivery time from delivered ready to print PDFs and music? We would have the order put about medio May.

Best regards,

Knapstad/POLYTRIAD FINGERPRINTS

Due to current work load, Record Industry production time has a minimum of 12 weeks for new orders (finished product including testings, from receival of parts and advance payment) and 6 weeks for re-orders. This can increase depending on actual capacity demand at the time the order is placed.
