The MEDIA-TECH Association was
established in 2001 and has grown
to become the innovative trade
association that serves every facet
of the optical and removable
storage media manufacturing
industry worldwide.
The Association works closely with
its members to present the media
manufacturing industry’s principal
exhibitions and conferences.
Our members are the companies
that equip, supply, license, develop
and manufacture all the current
formats of optical discs and are
also working on future formats such
as holographic storage and the new
high-density disc formats: Blu-ray.
