Furnace MFG (Label)

Furnace MFG is a manufacturing company based in Alexandria, VA, USA. Originally founded as a CD and DVD manufacturing broker in 1996, Furnace began offering vinyl manufacturing in 2008, also as a broker. They usually worked with Record Industry or Schallplattenfabrik Pallas GmbH. In late 2018, Furnace began pressing their own vinyl at a newly-built factory in Alexandria.
At some point and time, they rebranded as Furnace Record Pressing. Use that entry when listed. In early 2023 a majority interest in Furnace MFG was acquired by Metallica
