In a move that signals the unexpected strength of the vinyl market, Metallica has acquired a majority interest in one of the largest vinyl pressing companies in the U.S. — Furnace Record Pressing,…
pressing companies in the U.S. — Furnace Record Pressing, a leading provider of high-quality vinyl records and related services.
The move is also a savvy one: As many artists and labels can attest, there are very few quality pressing plants in the world and projects can become backed up for months. Vinyl pressings are often not available for weeks or even months after an album’s initial release. Founded by Eric Astor in 1996, Furnace operates a 70,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility in Alexandria, Virginia, with 12 Pheenix Alpha presses and two Finebilt presses. It offers standard and heavyweight pressings, color vinyl, special effect color vinyl, and custom vinyl etching, and also oversees other services related to the creation and packaging of records.
“Building Furnace into the dedicated and experienced family of experts that it is today has been a huge effort, but immensely gratifying” said Astor. “Knowing our long-term future is secured while also being better able to take advantage of growth opportunities is really exciting for every member of the Furnace staff.”
