CONECTIV and SONOPRESS Agree to Bring EcoRecord to North America

CONECTIV and SONOPRESS announced a strategic agreement to bring SONOPRESS's EcoRecord manufacturing technology to North America. The exclusive arrangement was announced on May 29, 2026. Under the agreement, CONECTIV agreed to purchase and operate EcoRecord manufacturing lines at its existing North American facilities.

The companies initially targeted the third quarter of 2026 for installation and operation of the EcoRecord lines. Traditional vinyl records are manufactured using polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. EcoRecord uses polyethylene terephthalate, commonly known as PET, and an injection-molding manufacturing process.

CONECTIV CEO Rob Wipper said the partnership represents an important milestone in the evolution of sustainable music manufacturing in North America. SONOPRESS CEO Sven Deutschmann sees the agreement as an opportunity to bring the company's technology to a larger market. The partnership announcement does not provide specific carbon-emissions savings or other independently verified environmental figures.
