Vantiva is the current owner of an optical disc and vinyl record manufacturing plant located in Piaseczno (Warsaw metropolitan area), Poland. This plant was owned and run by Technicolor from 2002-22, before it was announced on 27 September 2022 that some of Technicolor's activities, including disc manufacturing, would continue under the new name Vantiva.
Originally only an optical disc manufacturing plant, vinyl production started in 2023. The plant has 8 vinyl presses and a capacity of 6 million units annually. Unlike its north American counterpart Vantiva, Guadalajara, Mexico, the Polish plant does not offer in-house cutting but relies on local partners for DMM or lacquer mastering. Packaging happens on-site.
European distribution and shipping is handled through facilities in Warsaw and Rugby, UK.
