September 24, 2009. The MEDIA-TECH Association announces that Frank Hartwig, CEO of the German Cinram GmbH, Alsdorf, Germany, is the new Vice President of the Replicators Committee.        
 
Within the MEDIA-TECH Association the Replicators Committee of optical disc producers was founded in May, 2009. The new committee is chaired by Michael Gutowski of InfoDisc in Germany. The equipment manufacturers and replicators realised that a collective voice would be of great benefit to everyone. The new committee, under the MEDIA-TECH umbrella provides a forum for everyone to get together to discuss the issues that concern everyone. The primary goal of the committee is to promote the interests of the Blu-ray Disc manufacturing community.

Further information: The “Replicators Committee” was established in spring 2009 and aims to act as a representative for the industry, to promote discussions within the network and to inform about topics such as copy protection as well as market impediments. One of the predominant, current issues is the lack of a license agreement for the use of the Blu-ray technology.

Amongst the founding members of the “Replicators Committee” are key independent companies with production facilities in Europe.
