Oerlikon announced today that Infodisc has received one of their Blu-ray
manufacturing lines. Once installed, Infodisc will be the first independent Blu-ray manufacturer in western Europe with Oerlikon
equipment.
German Optical Disc manufacturer Infodisc today received delivery of the first BD ROM manufacturing line Indigo
in Western Europe. The Oerlikon (SWX:OERL) Blu-ray replication line will be installed in the coming days at the Renchen/Germany facility.
Infodisc will offer its services as the first independent European Blu-ray manufacturer, which is not contractually tied to a particular
Hollywood movie studio. As a pioneer in the Blu-ray production technology, Infodisc will share its experience with other replicators and
serve as a showcase for the Oerlikon Blu-ray line Indigo.
“We’ve evaluated the available Blu-ray production equipment and were
primarily impressed by Oerlikon,” says Michael Gotowski, CEO at Infodisc. “The INDIGO line is approved by major replicators, features an
excellent cover layer process and is mature for Blu-ray mass production. Oerlikon is launching soon the 50GB dual layer upgrade, using
Sony’s wet embossing process. This is the professional package we need for our own market success.”
