Optimal Media, located in Germany, is a media producer. About 20 years ago, Optimal decided to open a vinyl record pressing plant, which today has the capacity to press more than 25 million records annually. The combination of printing and disc pressing allows Optimal to produce high quality box sets such as the Beatles mono box set, among others.

Karl Neumann founded Pallas GmbH as a vinyl record pressing factory in 1949. The industry has come a long way over the years, and Pallas has been at the forefront of many advancements in record pressing. Creating a more consistent and stable pressing environment has allowed Pallas to produce high quality vinyl records.
