Objects Manufacturing is a state-of-the-art vinyl record pressing plant located on the banks of the River Spree in Berlin. We were founded with a clear purpose: to deliver high-quality vinyl records while maintaining a conscious and sustainable approach to manufacturing.
From day one, our focus has been on combining craftsmanship with environmental responsibility. We aim to press every record to the highest standards while actively minimizing waste and reducing our carbon footprint. It’s not always easy—but it's a commitment we take seriously in every aspect of the production process.
Unlike many pressing plants, we operate with an in-house electroplating (Galvanik) department, allowing us to manage the full vinyl production process—from lacquer to finished record—entirely under one roof. This ensures seamless workflows, tight quality control, and a lower environmental impact.
Our team of 16 employees spans four departments—Vinyl Pressing, Electroplating, Logistics, and Office & Sales—and we work closely with clients of all sizes, from independent artists to established labels. Fast lead times, consistent quality, and open communication are the cornerstones of our service.
Objects is a young and forward-thinking company, built by vinyl lovers for vinyl lovers. We’re here to support the long-term future of physical music—with intention, precision, and care.
