B-Side Factory's Success in the Vinyl Revival

B-Side Factory, a small vinyl record pressing plant located near Montaigu, France, is thriving in the resurgence of vinyl records. Founded in 2021, the company presses small runs (100-3,000) with an output of 600-800 records daily. Their success is attributed to several factors:

  • Fast turnaround time: B-Side Factory offers an eight-week production time, a significant advantage over larger companies.
  • Personalized service: They collaborate closely with artists, providing customized production and attending album releases.
  • International reach: Despite focusing on smaller orders, the company exports to Italy, Germany, and Belgium.

Environmental Initiatives

B-Side Factory is also committed to environmental sustainability. They offer bio-vinyls made from recycled cooking oil, although the higher cost currently limits adoption. They plan to invest in a grinder to recycle PVC material waste from production.

Future Growth

With a current turnover of €650,000 and three employees, B-Side Factory anticipates further growth and hiring in 2025. The company's confidence is rooted in the enduring appeal of vinyl records to younger generations, even as a decorative item or means of supporting artists.
