Vince Slusarz left his long career with Kinetico, Incorporated in search of a new adventure when he founded Gotta Groove Records in 2009. At the time, it was one of the first new pressing plants to open in the United States in decades.
Vince, being a music fan and record head (he once operated a record store out of his college dorm room) had a plan to bring several high-skill manufacturing jobs to the core of the Cleveland city limits via vinyl record manufacturing.
Today Gotta Groove Records is the only fully vertically integrated record manufacturing operation in the world! Learn about the journey and the process of making vinyl records as only Vince Slusarz, founder and Chester resident can tell. It will take you back . . .
