Vantiva

From Redump Wiki

Vantiva, formerly known as Technicolor, is one of the largest pressing plants in America. Discs by Vantiva for the American market are pressed in Guadalajara, Mexico. Vantiva also owns a pressing plant in Piaseczno, Poland, along with Braeside, Australia.

The company used to have more plants, for example in the US, acquiring plants from companies like Panasonic and Nimbus. Today, the number of plants are drastically reduced.

To this day, Vantiva is one of the largest remaining plants in the world. Most optical media produced for the American market that come from large studios are pressed by Vantiva (Warner Bros, Paramount, Disney, Universal, and Sony use them). Many companies use them for pressing CDs as well.
