MPO awarded BD50 certification
Just one month after obtaining certification from the Blu-ray Disc Association for single-layer BD25 production, French independent replicator MPO has just been certified to manufacture double-layer Blu-ray discs (BD50).
“Thanks to a considerable investment, the MPO group has become the only independent presser in Europe to offer a complete manufacturing solution for Blu-ray discs, from mastering to automatic packing, thus makes MPO a major player on the European Blu-ray market,” says the company.
MPO has chosen to step up its presence in Northern European markets, and specifically in the UK, Scandinavia and Benelux. To assist in this venture, MPO has expanded its international team, hiring three zone managers dedicated to the video and BD markets.
Since its first BDA certification, the group has already produced around 20 BD 25 titles for its European customers and has now produced its first BD 50 title. MPO manufactures almost 400 million discs per year, including vinyl, CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray.
