Our Story
We manufacture vinyl records and RIAA© awards for musicians from across the globe — from brand new bands to GRAMMY winners — all from our facilities in Austin, TX, including our sister business, Waterloo Records, where we cut lacquers and make our gold records.
As the demand for vinyl continues to grow, we're here to help you make records you're proud of, offering dedicated customer service (from real humans!) and true craftsmanship.
Our founder is now co-owner of Waterloo Records, one of America's most iconic record stores.... Our VP founded Women in Vinyl, supporting education across the industry....
And our production team members are musicians themselves.
A lot of "vinyl manufacturers" are actually brokers that outsource their work. We press and hand-inspect records ourselves with a less than 0.05% return rate. And when we partner with specialists for certain steps (like plating, or overflow capacity on huge runs), we tell you.
From classic black to custom colors, our standards are high because yours should be, too. Clients often tell us our records are "the highest quality we've ever had" and that's a bar we hold ourselves to. Check out this digital playlist for a sample of artists we've worked with.
