The ongoing boom in the popularity of vinyl records has been good for business at Austin's Gold Rush Vinyl pressing plant – so good that the North Austin company has added two new pressing machines.
"In 2020 and 2021, sales numbers across the industry were through the roof. The number of quote requests and order requests we [had] coming in indicated that the business was going to keep growing," she said, noting that the wait time for pressing machines from manufacturers in Canada, Germany, and the Czech Republic has grown alongside record orders.
Beyond the new presses, Gold Rush has set up a creative studio area that uses its trimmings and waste vinyl material to make decorative products like notebooks, earrings, clocks, and vinyl flower bouquets available for Valentine's Day.Also, a local investor gifted Gold Rush an Eighties-era particle deposition and vaporization machine that looks like it came straight out of. The vintage technology allows the company to create commemorative gold- and platinum-plated records.
The appeal is similar for Austin's Spaceflight Records, which has pressed a half-dozen albums through Gold Rush and has five releases scheduled for 2023. Founder Brett Orrison said Gold Rush has consistently delivered high-quality, on-time runs, with the local availability providing a clear advantage over other pressing plants in Detroit, Nashville, and Athens, Georgia.
