After last May's High End Munich show, Pro-Ject founder and CEO Heinz Lichtenegger invited international distributors attending the show to visit the company's brand new high-tech "green" logistics center outside of Vienna. They also toured the original Pro-Ject factory in Livotel, Czech Republic as well as the brand new factory down the road. AnalogPlanet editor Michael Fremer was invited to tag along.

As you'll see in the video, the old factory, which will remain open, is overcrowded and the new factory was needed if the company was to fulfill orders, which currently exceeds annually, 150,000 turntables.

The company currently runs 3 shifts a day, 7 days a week to keep up with turntable demand and is among if not the largest employer in Livotel. It's an incredible success story that began with a homely little turntable spotted for sale in a gas station.

You can't make up this stuff!
