PDO, France

French record and CD manufacturing plant, located in Louviers, France. Operating under this name from August 1986 until late 1991.

Record pressings can be identified by "PDO" stamped in the runout.
'380' in the runout denotes a lacquer cut in Louviers, please add Lacquer Cut At PDO, France if there is also 'PDO' in runout.
CD manufacturing started in 1987, after installing a CD manufacturing line. The plant is often directly credited on releases as "Made in France by PDO" or "Made in France by Philips and Du Pont Optical". Unlike PDO plants in other regions, PDO, France credits appear on the CD label rather than being stamped in the hub (as with PDO, Germany and PDO, USA) or laser-etched in the matrix (as with PDO, UK). The matrix usually also has "00 L7".

End of 1991, this plant was renamed to PRS, Louviers.
