About

There are four of us - Vince Slusarz (owner), Dan Greathouse (operations), Tyler Kremberg (web and marketing), and Matt Earley. (sales & marketing)

We are all music guys.

GGR started in early 2009 with Vince's visit to the long-established record pressing plant in New Jersey, Sun Plastics.  The owner of Sun was seeking to exit the business, and Vince was seeking to enter it.  Vince brought his friend and former co-worker, Dan, on board almost immediately after purchasing all of Sun's equipment.  In a truly amazing event of "right place right time", Matt & Tyler were able to hook up with Vince shortly thereafter and head up GGR's sales & marketing efforts. 

In mid-August 2009, the very first records began coming off the GGR lines -- ironically, right around the August 12th anniversary of Thomas Edison's invention of the phonograph (August 12, 1877).  The first record pressed was Drummer's Feel Good Together.

Vince and Dan have 30+ years experience in plastics manufacturing and operations management; Tyler has 8 years of web agency experience and Matt has 9 years experience in music distribution. Together, we are able to mesh some diverse backgrounds to get some truly innovative results.

We are a “one-stop-shop”— in addition to pressing high-quality vinyl records, we offer full service graphic design for printed jackets, sleeves, labels, digital download inserts, booklets, and other custom inserts.

We are also implementing some technology and processes which (quite possibly, although we can’t verify) have never been used on record pressing equipment anywhere in the world. Through all of this innovation, our mission is to produce the most consistent audiophile-quality records attainable, and concurrently achieve the least waste product.

We are located in Tyler Village, a former elevator factory in Downtown Cleveland-- the Rock & Roll capital of the world. We have a great space, and invite any bands, customers, or just folks curious about us to come by for a tour. We also have some great friends at local recording studios-- some of which have equipment to record entirely in analog (in addition to the latest recording technology, of course). So, theoretically, a band could record in complete analog here in Ohio, and then listen to their test pressings & watch their records being made from our listening room in downtown Cleveland! (leaving a few days between for mastering and plating, of course…but there’s a lot to do in Cleveland in the mean time!)
