Hauppauge Video Manufacturing: Difference between revisions

== History ==

The company was founded in 1981 as Hauppauge Record Manufacturing (a record duplicator), and produced over 100,000 vinyl records per day. In 1983, Hauppage Record Manufacturing formed Hauppauge Tape Manufacturing to serve the Audio marketplace. 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. In January 1995, [[Allied Digital|Allied Film and Video]] 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>
