updated list of DMM studios
With the total loss from the fire at the Apollo Masters facility, one source for vinyl mastering that will not be directly affected by lacquer master disc supply disruptions that should manifest in a few months (apart from likely getting slammed with new orders) is Direct Metal Mastering, as DMM studios have completely different sources for the copper discs needed for this.
SO - I just did an update to my list of studios which can still make DMM's for your music - which to the best of my knowledge is now only 8 places (as Abbey Road recently converted their DMM lathe to cut lacquer at half speed, Ton Schall Raum closed, and two facilities newly added DMM in Germany) located in 3 European nations (1 in Czech Republic, 6 in Germany and 1 in The Netherlands).

Thanks to Jiri Zita at GZ and Tom Haunstein at T.E.S.S. for informing me of some recent changes in this,

Thanks for this!
Re: updated list of DMM studios
I believe that list is missing:
Pallas - https://www.pallas-group.de/en/home/
Fonotec - https://www.fonotec.de/dmm-mastercut-studio/

Re: updated list of DMM studios
Fonotec - they seem to have a connection with the former Master Media Productions (MMP) plant now called Interpress vinyl: www.interpressvinyl.com as their locations are very close - only several km between them. This would be the original Teldec lathe as they advertise takeover of Teldec/OK Media technology on their webpage.
Pallas - they work with CU plates and lacquers cut elsewhere, maybe they have some kind of contract with some German independent studios (Pauler, Railroad Tracks...)
