Universal M & L, Germany (CD manufacturing plant)

Universal Manufacturing & Logistics GmbH. CD manufacturing plant in Langenhagen, Germany.
Officially established on 01 April 1999 (after Seagram combined PolyGram and MCA into Universal Music Group). Previously named PMDC, Germany.

CDs are identifiable by IFPI SID Mould code 01xx, by the 8-digit serial# 5xxxxxxx at the end of the Matrix # and/or by "Made in Germany by Universal M&L" printed on the CD.

Occasional vinyl mastering was still carried out as well (identifiable by the cypher 320 in the runouts), although all pressing (in the former "Werk 1" in Hannover) had ceased in 1991.

Effective May 2005, the company / plant was sold to EDC and renamed EDC GmbH (EDC, Germany).
