Business Overview:
This unique Manufacturing business has developed a large niche over the years. Originally started in 2004 as a partnership, the current owner re-established the operation under a new company name, on the same site, in 2009. The business press 1.5 Million units per annum increasing to 3 Million per annum on double shift operation, the products are distributed to clients in both the U.K. and Europe.
The industry produces over 80 million units per annum and this business is in a very strong position for future growth and development with limited competition.
The business is unique in the marketplace, by having the facilities to record and master on-site, before transfer to the production plant in adjacent units. With a great reputation for flexible service, and fast turn-around for orders of all sizes, the company is the one of choice for a number of record labels of all sizes through-out the U.K. and Europe.
The operation is grouped across 4 units on one light industrial park in North London. Currently production is run daily on a single shift. However, there is capacity to increase to a 24 hour shift pattern, which would increase efficiency as well as output, turn-over and profit margin.
The business is able to fulfill smaller orders via an established website with automated on-line ordering. This offers customers the ability to upload audio tracks and artwork to the website for full vinyl production.
