TAKT was established in 1991, originally as a manufacturer of audio cassettes. In 1997, TAKT opened a CD factory in Bolesław, and DVD pressing lines were added in 1998. In 2010, TAKT entered a partnership with German Infodisc Technology to offer Blu-Ray manufacturing. Approximately in 2016 or 2017, the vinyl pressing line Takt Direct was added.

TAKT originally produced cassettes until 2005, but announced revival of its production in 2020 (announced on company's Facebook profile on March 31, 2020).

PLEASE NOTE: Codes like 146/FV and 181/F found on cassettes manufactured by TAKT are not catalogue numbers but concession numbers. They should be entered in the Barcode and Other Identifiers section (under Other), not as a catalogue number for TAKT.

Identifying and crediting TAKT
If the TAKT logo is mentioned in the matrix along with the URL www.takt.eu or www.takt.com.pl, please add both entries to the LCCN section in separate fields.

Discs manufactured by TAKT on behalf of broker companies may not directly credit TAKT in the matrix. When the 13-digit 21xxxxxxxxxxx matrix number and mastering SID code IFPI LK96-LK99 is present in a disc matrix, TAKT may be credited as follows:

Made By – [broker company named in matrix]
Glass Mastered At – TAKT – 21xxxxxxxxxxx

One example is Nightwish - Dark Passion Play.

Mastering SID codes include: LK96 to LK99
(IFPI L357 may be present on older discs but this code may actually indicate the glass master was manufactured by an external plant)

Mould SID code prefix: 9R & UU

About TAKT matrix numbers

Old matrix had 6 digits, 123-456 or 123456, that could possibly mean month, year, number (MMY NNN).

Glass Mastered At – TAKT – 21xxxxxxxxxxx

One example is Darzamat - Transkarpatia.
