Those cool guys from Pirates Press put into operation a press for Flexi vinyl records in 2010:

http://www.piratespress.com/flexi/

http://piratespress.com/eblast/2011/04-26-11.html (NEW in 2011)

http://www.vinylcollective.com/pirates-press-to-resurrect-the-flex-disc-thoughts/

http://piratespress.com/rotw/?p=507 (search for "flexi")

We prepare stampers for them so you can treat this information as confirmed and you can add them to the pressing plant list. The rest of their records is of course pressed here in GZ.

Disco Press in Belgium was closed but it was taken over by a new owner and I think already open again for about 1.5 years/

They have also a new name. It is Discomat.
I cut regularly for them.

Kind regards, Lex

Wasn't too sure about this as I heard from the source that they were simply re-locating. What's the latest?

EKS Is dead and gone
Old premisses leased to new tenants
Plant sitting in Storage?
Jerry Sun/Dynamic pulled out of potential deal?
Rumors!
Any input here?
Regardless, no production from that plant, months now
Consider it dead at present
Life after death?
Possible, remains to be seen
Cheers

Rumors from Russian clients is that quality not up to scratch

Every plant has its issues every now and than
No doubt they will sort themselves out

Foon Vinyl confirmed in writing that they are a broker and not a plant.

Yes we worked that out when we saw the Gotta Groove plant in the Discmakers video. One thing the Americans are really good at is marketing.... they don't say they own the plant they just show us a plant and with some careful wording they present themselves as something different. A bit like Furnace Manufacturing... their videos are so carefully worded that they too don't say they own the plant but the video footage sends the message that they do.

There's nothing wrong with being a broker... what's wrong is when they present themselves as an actual manufacturer.

reading the article on this now and it says that they have bought the presses they once owned...". they dont "quote" Discmakers CEO's words though. Seems like a off the record statement..

Either the journalist has a great imagination or perhaps no more than desperate attempt from the ceo to save the company...[emoji20]

And Disc Makers is "the official vinyl manufacturer for Record Store Day", go figure!!

So vinyl is far from dead. There are three new plants around...

1. EKS plant was sold to an optical disc replicator in Memphis so expect some news soon.
2. Small plant opening in NY.
3. A plant opened in Pakistan in November 2013 using Hamilton presses purchased from Disc Makers in 2001.

Any other new plants?

First seconds on this video, they seems to start their plant... But yes, I'll let you know if they don't come here before I go to them ^^

But some details are strange....

This is Galvited, (probably) a broker that is taking it easy nowadays.

Probably Galvited?? It's best to be sure about such things before posting. Any chance you could make a phone call to find out and then let me know if we need to correct this post?? Thanks in advance.
