Disctronics' first manufacturing plant in the UK, located at Southwater.

Purchased from Disctec in July 1987 by Disctronics Limited and operated by Disctronics (UK) Ltd / Disctronics Manufacturing (UK) Ltd. until July 2003, when Deluxe Media Group (Deluxe (7)) acquired Disctronics, including both plants (Southwather and Blackburn).

Appears in the matrix as DISCTRONICS large space S xxxxxxx (refer to photos for typical examples).
The 'S' is followed by a space and then the rest of the runout data (represented as xxxxxxx above).
If the 'S' is not present in CD matrix, please do not use this label!

In 2004, the CD manufacturing and the majority of the packaging infrastructure was taken away from the factory and they continued to focus on DVD production.

This plant was later sold by The Rank Group (parent company of Deluxe) to Sony DADC in July 2006, and finally ceased production in 2018.
