The Czech company GZ Media has already opened its third vinyl pressing plant in America - Nashville Loděnice, CR / Nashville, USA – June 28, 2022 – The largest record producer in the world, the Czech company GZ Media, has opened its third record pressing plant on the North American continent. In the production plant Nashville Record Pressing (NRP) in the American state of Tennessee, it invested fully from its own resources, amounting to more than 300 million crowns. It wants to create 255 new jobs within two years.

“The investment in the Nashville Record Pressing facility is primarily to satisfy our customers’ hunger for vinyl records in the US. Demand there is growing the fastest in the world and we want to be as close as possible to our customers,” says Michal Štěrba, CEO of GZ Media.

NRP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Czech GZ Media, headquartered in the Czech Republic. The factory is equipped with brand new and best-in-class equipment and infrastructure, making it highly competitive globally.

The North American continent was very important for GZ Media already at the time when gramophone records started to come back into fashion. To this day, it is the main outlet for vinyls, the demand for which is still growing. Every fourth gramophone record currently sold in the world comes from the Czech company GZ Media. In addition to the new factory in Nashville, USA, the company also has a pressing plant Memphis Record Pressing in Memphis and Precision Record Pressing in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Both existing factories are continuously increasing their capacity. The new Nashville Record Pressing, which plans to produce 85,000 records a day in its first year, has the same ambition.

“We are grateful for the support we have received from the state of Tennessee and the warm welcome to Music City, as Nashville, USA is nicknamed. We are here to become the local vinyl pressing company of choice,” commented CEO Drake Coker on the opening of the new factory.
