SDC (3)

SDC was the common name of the Danish pressing plant related to SDC DanDisc A/S and the SDC Group. The 'SDC' branding first appeared in disc matrices in around 2000, replacing the former SDC DanDisc branding, which itself replaced DanDisc in around 1997. SDC was a major European multimedia company, offering duplication and replication of optical discs (CD, CD-ROM, DVD) and video and audio cassettes, as well as printing, packaging and PPS ("Pick-Pack&Ship" to distribute releases worldwide). The company also offered audio mastering at studios known as SDC Studios (formerly SDC Dandisc Studios and DanDisc Studios). In 2005, SDC merged with DCM (3) (joined by Tocano in February 2006) to form the multi-national media manufacturer Dicentia. Matrix numbers Discs from this pressing plant show a matrix number in the format 0xxxxxyy or 0xxxxxxyyy and sometimes without the first 0 (xxxxxyy), where 0xxxxx may indicate the date on which the glass master was created.
