Entertainment Distribution Company (EDC) was an American company that manufactured pre-recorded CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and vinyl records and distributed them for music and movie companies.
It was created by consolidating the disc-manufacturing capabilities from a number of different companies in particular Universal Music Group’s British, German, and American optical disc-manufacturing capabilities (Universal Media & Logistics (UML), formerly PolyGram Manufacturing & Distribution Centers Inc.
The move to internet downloads and subsequently streaming of media saw the decline in the business through the 2000s. The company attempted to consolidate and integrate its manufacturing operations and moved operations to Germany as well as sell of parts of the business to reduce costs. Despite this the company became insolvent and its assets were auctioned in May and June 2017.
