Tuff Gong International has announced it’s new partnership with Miami-based company SunPress Vinyl to relaunch vinyl manufacturing in Kingston, Jamaica as record sales hit a 28-year high last year.
Tuff Gong’s vinyl factory at 220 Marcus Garvey Drive in Kingston, Jamaica which was founded by late Reggae legend Boob Marley in the 1970s is set to undergo a major renovation for the next several months to accommodate a surge in sales with customers coming from as far as Asia and Europe. Services will start in February however in the interim, pressing orders can be placed online with fulfillment handled at Sunpress’ South Florida location.
General Manager of Tuff Gong International Marie Bruce stated, “Bob Marley’s vision was that of a one stop record production, manufacturing and distribution facility. The interest in owning music in vinyl format has experienced eight consecutive years of growth, and Tuff Gong is happy to rejoin this movement”.
