‘Vinyl’ ?
Famous last words. Pretty grim stuff.. Be great to have a working plant here, last attempt doesn't seem to have faired very well.

Yeah that's two failed plants here in recent times. Grim.
Not sure your point of quoting a line from my post of five years ago is though.
We are too rich and notiony to really do manufacturing at this point.
Are you factoring in export costs and time over water?Had a look into this earlier, I'd categorise Belgium, Germany, Austria and France as places where running a business isn't massively different to here in terms of costs and there seems to be quite a few elsewhere in the "expensive" EU countries, southern Europe and Poland the wages would have been lower.

They had liabilities over assets of 1.9million. Hard to make that work when you're selling your widgets between 2.67 and 5.37 per unit.

I haven't but that's a good point. The figures I used were from DV's own rate card on their website.
I don't generally ship in or out of the EU but I just had a pallet of stuff arrive in country sea freight from Chicago this week and we paid €485 for the shipment FWIW.
Also factor in, largely Ireland doesn't pay musicians where mainland European countries actually do. They can have a domestic and export business in a way we don't.Sorry coming back to this. My perception is that there's still a big backlog in the industry as a whole to get vinyl pressed, I don't know if it's still the case and you're desperate to get your record pressed you might just eat the transport costs to get them in time for release, so that might not be a problem for the pressing plant unless they're offering FOB to final destination after a certain threshold.

If LPs cost another 10 Euro each, people would buy less records.Also factor in, largely Ireland doesn't pay musicians where mainland European countries actually do. They can have a domestic and export business in a way we don't.
I don't know how much of a factor that'd be, servicing the domestic market, when you've got contracts to press Taylor Swift records etc.
