Dureco fabriek

Dutch for "Dureco Factory". This is the way the company's pressing plant is named on its vinyl test pressings. Please note that here are currently no known unique identifiers for this plant, so it shouldn't be credited if it does not appear on the release. The typical runout pattern associated with Dureco Studio.

The Dureco pressing plant was constructed in 1972 together with the Bovema.

By 1980, when Dureco became independent after the bankruptcy of IPG, the pressing plant was fully automated with nine Lened 12" automatic presses and three Lened dual 7" presses, with a capacity of 100.000 12" discs and 100.000 7" discs weekly.

In 1987 part of the plant was turned into a CD factory. At that point the vinyl plant had a capacity of 3.5 million LPs and 3 million singles annually. On 9 October 1987 the first CD pressing plant in the Netherlands was opened, equipped with one Krauss Maffei machine imported from West . A second one was added a year later.

The last vinyl record was pressed in 1992.
