Experience the fascinating world of CD and DVD production

 
 

Accompany us on a tour of the fascinating world of CD and DVD production. You will discover how important cutting edge technology and high quality standards are in the manufacture of high-quality CD and DVD production.

Industrial CD production in Kings Mountain in 1986. Today these shiny optical discs (CD’s and DVD’s) are still produced by much the same process and from the same (polycarbonate) material. Technology and logistics have advanced greatly over the years to accommodate the enormous increase in production from a few tens of thousands of discs a day in 1986 to nearly a million a day in 2007.

The manufacture of CDs and DVDs can be roughly split into three steps:
   
  Manufacture of the master and one or more stampers as dies for the polycarbonate discs
   
  Disc molding, coating, bonding and printing
   
  Assembling the finished goods
