In 1994, HMG's Audio Division manufactured over 55 million cassettes for major record labels, independents and corporations. In 1985, the company expanded to video duplication, as Hauppauge Video Manufacturing. In September 1993, HMG opened an optical disc manufacturing plant, replicating CD-Audio and CD-ROMs. That same year, HMG became a publicly traded corporation and was renamed to HMG Digital Technologies Corp.
