Sonopress GmbH is a media manufacturing and supply chain company headquartered in Gütersloh, Germany, and part of Bertelsmann. Founded in 1958, the company replicates optical media such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu‑ray Discs and also manufactures vinyl records, complemented by packaging, printing, and global fulfillment services for the music, film, games, and software industries.
From a materials perspective, Sonopress operates high‑volume plastics processing lines including injection molding, compression molding, metallization, lacquer coating, and label printing.
