Press On Vinyl

Vinyl pressing plant based in Middlesbrough (UK). The plant was founded in June 2021 and went operational in January 2022. It is a full-service provider, offering in-house lacquer cutting (since December), plating, pressing, printing and packaging. In the summer a mastering suite of Swift Mastering opened up on the plant's premises especially for vinyl mastering. For pressing custom-made new pressing machines powered by a steam and cooling system are used. They also experiment with pressing records on bioplastic. In-house cuts can be recognized by POV etched in the runout area, usually accompanied by the engineer's signature. Company directors: Danny Lowe, David Hynes and David Todd (commercial director). Production engineer: Nigel Crooks.
