We press some of our own records from dies built by our own engineers. The records are actual playable records, with music in the grooves, pressed in multi-ton presses. We use a similar technology to Evatone, a company in Florida that has pressed millions of Soundpages, very thin recordings that are sometimes called "flexies". These "flexies" have been bound into the pages of magazines such as Guitar Player and Downbeat and are carried on the larger sheet that forms their background, so that the overall sheet is square. Mounting is much easier and more secure.

For many years we had been manufacturing and importing our raw gold record blanks from Europe to achieve the necessary quality. The problems connected with such distances eventually forced us to develop our own technology here in the US. When we could find no one capable of making the required dies for stamping our gold records, we made our own.

Our great advantage is that because of this proprietary technology we can offer our gold records for a fraction of the usual cost.

Honda, Sears, State Farm, Ford Motor, Shearson Lehman, Chemical Bank, McDonalds and AAA have all used our gold records for employee and dealer recognition. Reba McEntire and Frito-Lay have used them for touring staff recognition. Peavey Electronics uses them as awards for employee recognition, sales reps, and sports competitions that they have sponsored.

We also supply many DJ's with wedding first dance gold records that permanently preserve the thrill of their client's wedding first dance. The DJ's are happy too, since their contact information is unobtrusively included on the label where it becomes discreet, yet permanently displayed advertising for them.

We have also had installations making gold records on-site for Opryland in Nashville, and Universal Studios Hollywood.

We are now located in the midwest near the Great Lakes, after having been in California for many years. Our close proximity to the highly demanding auto industry has ensured a strong pool of local talent with advanced capabilities.
