SMA

Profile

Pressing plant owned by Summit Technology Australia Pty Ltd. This acronym is comprised of the Summit trademark "[l28059]" plus an "A" for the location of the plant. Please only use this entity where 'SMA' is apparent in the matrix of a CD. During the 1990s [b]discs had a four or five digit catalogue number in the matrix, which should be entered (without spaces) into the company number field of the LCCN section[/b]. Occasionally the number will be followed by a letter which can also be entered. Matrices bearing a ten digit number that begins with '61' should be entered in the LCCN as the parent company "[l28059]". The IFPI designated the [b]Australian[/b] plant with the following Mould SID Code prefixes, which indicates that the CD was pressed at that location: ● IFPI 79## - Waterloo, Sydney, Australia (1995-2005) / Silverwater, Sydney (2005-present). ● ifpi 2661 - Silverwater, Sydney, Australia (equipment acquired from [l168056], 2005). *However, as per [g5.2.d], "...SID codes should not be used to identify manufacturing plants or glass mastering facilities as the codes may transfer from owner to owner of the equipment and / or pressplant".
