Burlington can now call itself the vinyl record capital of Canada.
At its new 20,000-square-foot plant, Precision Record Pressing held an opening celebration Thursday for more than 100 invited music industry guests, including representatives from all the major Canadian record labels.
The $5 million plant, located in an industrial park off Harvester Road, boasts five new double record presses — freshly manufactured in the Czech Republic — that can turn out 3.6 million vinyl records per year.
"There's nobody else (in Canada) that can do our volume," Precision vice-president Gerry McGhee said in an interview. "Our Phase 2 expansion will bring production up to 6 million and that will make us the second largest in North America, next to Union (Record Pressing) in Nashville."
