What Analogue Media Technologies Inc. (Amtech) / Duplication.com does

Analogue Media Technologies Inc., operating primarily as Duplication.com, is a privately held Canadian physical media manufacturer founded in 1989 and headquartered in Verdun, Quebec, with manufacturing operations in Scarborough (Toronto), Ontario and, since 2024, Cleveland, Ohio, plus a French-language sales channel serving Quebec. The company operates as a one-stop contract manufacturer for the music and media industry, providing audio cassette duplication, CD/DVD/Blu-ray glass-master replication, CD-R duplication, 12-inch and 7-inch vinyl pressing (including color, splatter, marble, eco-friendly, gatefold, and picture-disc variants), VHS duplication, and custom USB keys, alongside integrated offset and digital printing for covers, jackets, sleeves, booklets, posters, and packaging.

Underlying production runs on a vertically integrated industrial stack: a professional glass-master CD/DVD pressing plant, a Komori offset press plus digital presses, diecutting and bindery equipment, and a dedicated audio cassette duplication line offering nearly 100 shell color variants and custom length-loading. This integration supports same-day service for urgent orders and short-run minimums (100 pieces for CD replication, 50 pieces for vinyl).

Revenue is generated through a dual go-to-market motion: a product-led self-serve e-commerce platform (duplication.com, duplication.ca, DuplicationQuebec.com) with instant pricing calculators and file upload for SMBs, individuals, and indie artists, paired with sales-led custom quoting for enterprise accounts including major labels (BMG, Warner Music Group), established independents (Sub Pop, Merge Records, Arts & Crafts), distributors, resellers, government, and corporate clients. Adjacent revenue streams include blank media and packaging supplies, duplication equipment, custom band merchandise (T-shirts), and laser engraving services. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding or PE/VC backing.
