Thank you for the complete list of plants in your country. I have updated the list on Page 1 so it is as complete as possible. |

And another Video of the same plant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSfL4nrLXxI&feature=related
Couple of Leneds? and an Alpha, archaic plating baths No lathe visible I did not see it any way Looks like an oddball ex injection machine extruder with a Fabeldis mod in the nozzle The dog is for Quality control purposes or may be is a descendant the original HMV one, I am not sure, he looks happy enough May be he just finished his shift

I hope they are not cutting warm dirty lacquers in there.

The plant is Polysom Brazil. That second video at 8min 38sec is about eight minutes longer than it should be. The closing credits list a director, a camerperson and two camera assistants, amongst a crew of ten. What they needed was an editor!!
They are huge extruders!!!!! |

|
|
Hi All - have to move premises - and I've not even set it up yet - would've been on a farm...then he realised I would be operating heavy machinary and couldn't get the nod from the local council!
-
The Beaurocracy in England is getting quite stupid...altho I have(hopefully) managed to secure a grant from the same people for starting up a new business Manufacturing NEW product ! Crazy?
Still...Can't complain, things have gone very quick - just need to find new industrial premises within 20 miles of where I AM -and soon...!
Also, does anyone know " monkey " on here? Just had the offer of help, which is most grateful, just wondered if anyone knew if he was local - based in the UK -local - going to need all the hands I can get..!
Cheers all,
John.

Polysom Brazil closed in late 2007 and re-opened in November of 2009 with new owners. The new owners own a succesful record label, distribution and music publishing business and have already secured work from three majors and from nearby countries.
They recruited three experienced and retired guys, salvaged what they could from the old presses and what they couldn't salvage was sold for 10c per pound. They claim to have bought new machinery and now have eight European presses with a capacity of 28,000 12" discs and 14,000 7" discs per month which doesn't make sense. This sounds more like two 12" presses and one 7" press - both on a slow cycle or they stop work each day for a siesta.
These guys have had a lot of success with their label, think "outisde the square" and appear to be rather progressive. They are clearly onto something here. Wishing them all the best! |

Hi Chris,
Welcome to the forum. Curved Pressings sold their pressing plant to Timmy in Germany who has offered the presses for sale here in the forum. I believe they still do disc cutting.
Maybe someone in the UK could confirm if Quick Press Productions are still in business? |

Ahh, I just assumed they were still doing it as they still offer it....
Cheers for the info though! 
Chris
edit: - By the way, does anyone know of any cutting rooms in Netherlands, other than record industry - I'd like to check one out that's local, if possible, but don't seem to be able to find any info |

Many websites claim to press records. Thats why the start of this topic says "Do not relay on Google. Only list those plants that YOU KNOW OF that actualy press records".
If you do a Google search for VMS70 or VMS 80 Netherlands I am sure you will find a cutting studio or two. |

Mike
Quick Press this outfit is out of Buissines Confirmed two weeks ago while in the UK
Chris
Why dont you pm GalviTed He is in the nederlands and he does Galvanics so he would know I know of at least 2 cutting houses One of them is Marc but I have no contact He has posted here once or twice If memeory serves me well He had a VMS 70 which he wanted to sell as he got himself an 80 or 82 the other name is escaping me at present I know not much help but they are there for sure
Look up member list search for galvited and pm him
What is wrong with the UK you are only across the drink and you have a choice there almost a daily service to Holland
Max at Vinyl Only is a good cutter and they will also do a set of plates for you to send for pressing anywhere
Also another Chris
Chris Benett he does a good cut and he can supply you plates as well
Let me know via pm if you want contact details
We keep it amongst the Chris's than Ha Ha
Cheers

Cheers!!!
The reason I want to check a place out is more for my own interest than to get something cut - I'm looking to get into cutting myself, and I saw some comments on here that the best thing to do is go visit a place. I could go when I'm back in UK if I can't find anyone here, just thought people here may know of a few over in NL.
Thanks for the info and I'll get in touch if I have no luck here!
Edit - Spoke to Ted and he was extremely helpful, cheers again! |
