DFI

Disco Industrie was a French manufacturer of records and cassettes, established in July 1989 after renaming Disco .
The company was liquidated on November 4, 2004 and finally closed down on December 20, 2007 for inadequacy of assets.
It remains unclear when its name changed to become VPI.

DFI had an in-house galvanic department and pressed black/colour and injection moulded records (12", 10", 7"). It used special injection-compression presses manufactured by Disco sister company M.A.P., each of which could produce up to 380 discs an hour. This was a significant advantage compared to its competitors during the 80’s, as it required less personnel.

An offset printer called AGI group together with Disco .

DFI pressings have "DFI" stamped or etched in the runouts. Usually, DFI has also added the manufacturing date in the runouts, e.g. 90/1, 95-1, 01.1, 02 7 etc., indicating year and month (please do not add as release date).

DFI pressings between July 1989 and January 1990 still carry the ⩓ in the runouts. Please add [AGI logo] in its place.
