== History == |

The company was founded in August 1981 as '''Hauppauge Record Manufacturing, Ltd.''', a vinyl record duplicator, and pressed over 100,000 vinyl records per day. In 1983, another company was formed, called '''Hauppauge Tape Manufacturing, Ltd.''', to serve the entire audio marketplace. In 1985, yet another company was formed, called '''Hauppauge Video Manufacturing, Ltd.''', to serve the video marketplace. In June 1989, when HRM ceased pressing vinyl records, all three companies merged, forming '''Hauppauge Manufacturing Group, Ltd.''' In September 1993, HMG opened an optical disc manufacturing plant, which replicated CD-Audio and CD-ROM discs. That same year, HMG became a publicly traded corporation and was renamed to HMG Digital Technologies Corporation. In 1994, HMG manufactured over 55 million cassettes for major music labels, independents and corporations. In January 1995, [[Allied Vaughn|Allied Film and Video Services]] and HMG Digital Technologies merged to become Allied Digital Technologies. This merger cemented its position as the nation's leading supplier of video, audio, CD and CD-ROM duplication to the non-theatrical market, including corporate, special interest, educational, religious and children's programming.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20020806103644/http://www.alliedvaughn.com/adt_h_1.shtml</ref> |
