Napalm Records And Austrovinyl Sign Strategic Partnership In Response to Rising Vinyl Demand

Napalm Records, one of the world’s leading independent Rock & Metal labels and vinyl manufacturing company Austrovinyl are both based in Styria, Austria and thrilled to announce that they have joined forces for a strategic partnership, strengthening the domestic music market and expanding international structures.

The growth and the enormous increase in demand for vinyl requires an extension of Austrovinyl’s production and storage capacities. Therefore, a new pressing plant will be built in Fehring, Austria (with the nearest airport in Graz), within the same scenic Styrian region as Austrovinyl’s current location.  At this new location, the machinery will be expanded onto a floor space of approx. 800m², where the production can be tripled.

The project planning is in the final stages and start of construction is scheduled for January 2022, with the goal of opening by the end of the second quarter of 2022.

Making this step will also create new jobs, creating further growth and expansion after the number of employees at Austrovinyl already doubled in 2021.

Napalm Records CEO Thomas Caser on the collaboration “Regional & international power united! The philosophy of Austrovniyl and the passion with which this company is led coincides with the ideals of Napalm Records. Strategically, we are opening another business field here and are also prepared for the future in this area!.”

Austrovinyl Managing Director Peter Wendler adds “Napalm and Austrovinyl – this is how business has to work in times like these: together in unity! Creating great music releases with sustainable value in highest quality and wealth of ideas in an ever exciting, innovative and globally active creative industry – strengthening and developing the advantages of regionality with motivated and top-trained employees.”
