America’s biggest vinyl plant “not able to accommodate” new customers
United Pressing in Nashville is building a second plant.
There’s a lot been said about the increasing rise in vinyl’s popularity. Now such is the demand that the biggest plant in the US - that’s United Pressing in Nashville, Tennessee - is refusing new custom.
“We are not able to accommodate orders from new customers at this time,” says a message posted on the company’s website, “out of courtesy to our loyal existing customers.”
“The overwhelming surge in demand for vinyl records during this past year has now exceeded the capacity of our original plant,” it explains.
United Pressing were responsible for what is now the biggest selling vinyl of any year since SoundScan records began, Jack White’s ‘Lazaretto’, released last year.
The statement adds that the company are “a few months” from opening a second plant.
United Pressing recently featured in the Nashville episode of Foo Fighters’ Sonic Highways, and was the host of Jack White’s world record-beating ‘fastest record’ event for Record Store Day.
