<h2 id="history">History</h2> <p>Sony DADC's first plant, in <a href="/facts/Terre_Haute,_Indiana/gG4MdnU4">Terre Haute, Indiana</a>, opened May 2, 1983,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:1" href="#fn:1"><sup>1</sup></a> and produced its first CD, <a href="/facts/Bruce_Springsteen/PEQnPnm8">Bruce Springsteen</a>'s <i><a href="/facts/Born_in_the_U.S.A./JHext99s">Born in the U.S.A.</a></i>, in September 1984.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> It was the first CD manufacturer in the United States, is the company's principal CD manufacturing facility, and is the company's research and development center.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p><p>The plant was initially a subsidiary of <a href="/facts/CBS/BhMsVoej">CBS</a>/Sony <a href="/facts/Corporate_group/lRqJLJ4W">Group</a>, but Sony bought out CBS's stake in October 1985.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p><p>When <a href="/facts/Sony/7x4tCtBd">Sony</a> bought CBS Records in 1988, it acquired that company's manufacturing facilities, some of which later became part of Sony DADC. Among these are the plants in <a href="/facts/Pitman,_New_Jersey/yAK8HIjo">Pitman, New Jersey</a> (closed in 2011)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> <a href="/facts/Terre_Haute,_Indiana/gG4MdnU4">Terre Haute, Indiana</a>; <a href="/facts/Toronto,_Ontario/cnXH7881">Toronto, Ontario</a>, Canada (plant closed in 2011); <a href="/facts/Mexico_City/gEnGxDEd">Mexico City</a> (plant closed 2015); <a href="/facts/Salzburg,_Austria/HLygtHgN">Salzburg, Austria</a>; <a href="/facts/Mumbai,_India/BdoEc10R">Mumbai, India</a>; and <a href="/facts/Manaus,_Brazil/DMfPjSf4">Manaus, Brazil</a>—all of which were originally manufacturers of vinyl <a href="/facts/Gramophone_record/ccuFV9Af">gramophone records</a>. These plants began manufacturing CDs later: Pitman in 1988, Manaus in 1992,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> and Toronto<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> and Mexico City<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> in 1994. </p><p><a href="/facts/LaserDisc/nU4WJhDM">LaserDiscs</a>, primarily 12-inch disc prints of feature films and concerts, were manufactured by Sony DADC in the 1980s and 1990s. Some of the laserdiscs made at DADC currently show <a href="/facts/Laser_rot/hzwm6gtq">laser rot</a>, more than those from any <i>other</i> manufacturer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> </p><p>Sony DADC now manufactures the majority of CDs sold in the United States. In November 2008, the company bought the American disc-manufacturing capabilities of <a href="/facts/Entertainment_Distribution_Company/mec3n3vW">Glenayre Technologies</a>, which manufactured the discs of <a href="/facts/Universal_Music_Group/VufxcUef">Universal Music Group</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> In the summer of 2009, the company assumed the physical distribution of <a href="/facts/EMI/MxDTCNeq">EMI</a>'s North American operations.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11"><sup>11</sup></a> This left <a href="/facts/Warner_Music_Group/r0x3FlQE">WEA</a> as the only major label whose discs are not manufactured by the company, as its discs are manufactured by the operations of the former <a href="/facts/WEA_Manufacturing/tFNpB4zw">WEA Manufacturing</a> that were sold to <a href="/facts/Cinram/wcDgmkcF">Cinram</a>. </p><p>On August 8, 2011, a Sony DADC distribution center in <a href="/facts/Enfield_Lock/RWHDu2Ty">Enfield</a> was destroyed during the <a href="/facts/2011_England_riots/QsoRy4Qf">2011 England riots</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12"><sup>12</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a> The warehouse was used by <a href="/facts/Independent_music/UTY7W2Vw">independent music</a> distributor <a href="/facts/PIAS_Entertainment_Group/ARn92a1h">PIAS Entertainment Group</a> to distribute CDs, LPs, and DVDs for over 100 European independent labels.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a> The total stock loss in the fire was reported to be between 3.5 million<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a> and 25 million units.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16"><sup>16</sup></a> </p><p>On January 17, 2018, the DADC plant in <a href="/facts/Terre_Haute,_Indiana/gG4MdnU4">Terre Haute, Indiana</a>, announced that they would be laying off 375 employees, and shifting manufacturing of audio discs to another manufacturer, <a href="/facts/Arvato_Entertainment/dfcoC5g0">Sonopress</a>.
