Fábrica De Discos Saverio Leonetti

Profile:

Second Brazilian record factory, funded by Saverio Leonetti. Also found only as "Fabricado Por Leonetti & Cia." on early releases
Bought as a rural house in 1911, it was reconverted in 1913 into a lacquer cutting factory for Leonetti's Casa A Electrica store and gradually expanded until becoming a full record factory in August 1914.
In total, the company pressed records for Leonetti's Disco Phœnix

By 1920 the factory is credited on releases as Fábrica Phonographica União

By 1924 the factory was abandoned and it's equipment moved to Buenos Aires, where Leonetti was opening a factory called Trouvé, Leonetti & Compania in partnership with Alfredo Amendola's Casa Electra.
The ruins of the original building still exist.
