JAKARTA - For almost half a century, a disk factory will finally return to Indonesia with PHR Pressing. This factory is a private independent initiative in Indonesia.

Founded by PT. Kerka Elevasi Mandiri, this disk factory not only continues the independence of the nation's children in the process of national music production and preservation, but also meets the needs of artists, bands, and labels who want to release their music in a blacklist format more easily.

Operating in the Cengkareng industrial area, Tangerang, only about five kilometers from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, made it directly connected to a world-class transportation hub and logistics distribution.

According to an official statement received by the editors on Thursday, with Italian technology machines and Hong Kong assembly, PHR Pressing is able to offer a production capacity of 30 thousand pieces of the disk per month.

Built as a joint venture between PHR and Elevation Records brands that have more than 11 years of releasing and distributing music in a disk format, PHR Pressing is designed to meet the needs of blacklist printing in Indonesia at affordable prices and fast production times.

Please note, the presence of this disk factory cannot be separated from Edy Goh's cold hands, with the personal initiative to open a pressing plant since 2019.

PHR Pressing will officially open and process in June. Currently, the ordering process has been opened.

Now, 49 years later, PHR Pressing with the motto 'Now Everyone Can Press Vinyl' seeks to be the successor to the tradition of releasing music in a black plate format.
