Re: [ARSCLIST] Current LP pressing plants in operation

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll be very surprised if there is not a single plant in Latin America or Africa.

Does anyone know what became of all the pressing equipment that used to be in Indiana? In the late 
60's, if I recall correctly, there were massive LP manufacturing operations owned by three different 
companies there. RCA in Indianapolis, Columbia in Terre Haute and Philips in Richmond. That had to 
be hundreds of presses and all sorts of plating and sleeving gear. Plus, Philips had a big 
sleeve-printing plant in Richmond, too.
