Promese

Promese is a Dutch company that offered CD, DVD, and other media manufacturing services. Promese took over from Profact International (although the name Promese lives on for other business activities).

Identifying and crediting Promese
Glass masters by Promese generally have the following layout:

XXXXXX @# YYYYYY

· XXXXXX is a sequential number that may be entered in LCCN for Promese. Promese inherited this sequential matrix numbering scheme from Mediamotion who inherited it in 2003 from the Ook Voor Jou.

· YYYYYY is often followed by one of the these URLs: WWW.PROMESE.EU or WWW.PROMESENL.EU. In these cases Promese should not be credited, please credit the URL brand name only as the following:
Glass Mastered At – WWW.PROMESE.EU – XXXXXX, or
Glass Mastered At – WWW.PROMESENL.EU – XXXXXX

See example at Karin Bloemen & Cor Bakker - Diva's Van Carré.

· Discs manufactured by Promese on behalf of broker companies may replace their own URL with that of the broker company, such as on Jan Smit - Recht Uit M'n Hart (Ballades):

Matrix / Runout: 394763 @1 WWW.ARTISTANDCOMPANY.NL AC2015201

Please credit these cases like so:

Manufactured By – WWW.ARTISTANDCOMPANY.NL [or other appropriate broker as credited]
Glass Mastered At – Promese – XXXXXX

Please note that as Promese was renamed Profact International on 1 March 2016, any post-2016 release with this matrix pattern should be credited to that profile instead of Promese. For 2016 releases (or those with unknown release dates), releases with matrix numbers up to 40468xx should be credited to Promese, while releases 40469xx and beyond should go to Profact International.
