The Vinyl Factory

About Us

Specialists in hand-crafting the very finest music and art editions, The Vinyl Factory mark assures a stamp of quality that's often promised but rarely delivered.

All our vinyl is created using the classic EMI 1400 Press at the original EMI vinyl pressing plant at Hayes, Middlesex, a century-old landmark in British manufacturing. Our paper stocks are individually sourced and hand-chosen, while our print techniques combine tradition with modernity to create beautifully-produced collectors items.

The Vinyl Factory was established in 2003 when the company acquired EMI's vinyl pressing plant in Hayes. The plant now presses over 50% of the UK's vinyl. In addition to the high end special editions, The Vinyl Factory group also includes gallery spaces in central London, an independent music & arts magazine and website (FACT) and record shop (Phonica). The Vinyl Factory are due to open two new music and arts spaces, in London (Shoreditch) and Berlin (Mitte), in 2009.
